Second Navy fighter jet goes overboard from Truman aircraft carrier, pilots ejected
Wednesday, 7 May 2025 () The U.S. Navy lost a fighter jet on Tuesday when it went overboard into the Red Sea and two aviators safely ejected from the aircraft, officials said.
The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.

The U.S. Navy's Harry S. Truman may soon exit the Red Sea after enduring multiple strikes from Yemeni forces, including missiles and drones, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that targeted civilians. Yemeni defense sources report that the carrier could have been hit, forcing it to retreat. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy Super Hornet jet fell into the sea amid the attack. With rising tensions in the region and ongoing missile threats, the Truman may follow other carriers that have withdrawn under pressure from Yemeni forces.

A $60 million U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet has been lost under mysterious circumstances in the Red Sea after what appears to be a high-intensity encounter involving the USS Harry S. Truman and Houthi forces. According to the U.S. Navy, the aircraft was under tow when the move crew lost control, sending it overboard — but questions are mounting. The incident comes amid escalating attacks on the Truman carrier group by Yemen’s Ansar Allah forces, sparking speculation of a potential strike rather than an accident. With rising tensions in the region and Truman’s recent history of close calls, experts are questioning the official narrative.

China has deployed its aircraft carrier Shandong and an electronic surveillance ship to the Western Pacific in a direct response to the US-Philippines Balikatan drills and the unprecedented deployment of ship-sinking missiles in Luzon Strait. The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences. With 9,000 US and 5,000 Filipino troops participating, tensions in the South China Sea are at a boiling point, signaling a potential confrontation in the Taiwan Strait corridor.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive action—resulting in the loss of an F-18 jet. Hegseth declared that Iran will “pay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,” calling out Iran’s support for the Houthi terrorist group. Backed by President Trump’s retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.

Trump claimed that Yemen's Houthi rebels "begged" him to halt American bombing raids, pleading, "Please don’t bomb us anymore… we’re not going to attack your ships." Trump mocked the Houthis during a public appearance, suggesting they were terrified by the scale and intensity of recent U.S. military strikes. The comment comes amid escalating U.S.-Houthi tensions following repeated missile attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes and American vessels.
