re: US Navy F/A-18 Falls Overboard As USS Truman Evaded Inbound Houthi Fire

What kind of threat was that maneuver supposed to be defeating?
I'm totally ignorant on naval operations, but to me that maneuver seemed way too slow to evade any kind of missile attack.
What else do the Houthi's have that can attack a nuclear aircraft carrier?

I’m assuming a ballistic missile, which have limited ability to maneuver and correct in the final stage of the attack.

I just sent it to someone who works for me. They were a crew chief in the Navy and worked on carriers.
How far over was the deck pitched to lose an aircraft?

We had a rather lengthy discussion with some front line insightful info provided. The gist of what I remember is a barrage of hypersonic missiles incoming. They would need to be stratified as they aren’t yet capable of targeting moving naval targets accurately but then, it turned out someone alluded we have defensive measures not made public that might frick them u long before those missiles get launched.

Surprised it wasn't named the USS McCain.

Maverick would've called the ball and avoided this.

A number Commands and future Commands went into the drink along with that FA-18E

Impressive turn, shite happens - no criticism from me

I hate to have been in the shitter when they made that turn/maneuver!

My Marine pilot buddy said he was launched into the ocean from his carrier because his wings were still in up position and had never given the signal to launch. He got back on board the ship and had an unfriendly discussion with the launching guy.

Yeah pretty sure I would’ve seen that on YouTube by now

I’m ready to drop some small tactical nukes at this point

One little tow tractor isn’t gonna stop a Super Hornet from sliding off the deck during a hard turn.

You don’t know shite and never served we do know that by the childishness of the réthorique produced.
Posted on 4/28/25 at 6:55 pm to John Barron
Like they would admit it if it was due to Houthi attacks.

I feel you
And yes we should annihilate
But we do need to control the straights
All of them
It wasn’t that long ago when pirates were making game from Somalia
I saw folks claim all traffic on seas worldwide was at the permission/ security of the us navy

This was super hornet, which is still being produced. It literally could be brand new.
