Friendly Fire
-
Two U.S. Navy pilots safely ejected over the Red Sea on Sunday after the F/A-18 fighter jet they were in was shot down by what appeared to be friendly fire, U.S. Central Command said.
The F/A-18 was flying off of the USS Harry S. Truman when it was downed, CENTCOM said in a statement. One of the pilots may have sustained minor injuries during the ejection, CENTCOM said.
The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group in the region, “mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18,” it said.

Does Gettysburg get to paint an aircraft silhouette on the superstructure?
