Cruiser shoots down jet in Red Sea AO

[Monello]

The bad news is that the jet was from the USS H. S. Truman. And just like that, several crew members submitted retirement packages.

Two U.S. Navy aviators are safe after their two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet was shot down by an American ship by mistake, according to a late Saturday statement from U.S. Central Command.

The Super Hornet, assigned to aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), was flying over the Red Sea when guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG-64) fired upon it, according to the CENTCOM statement.

The firing cruiser is populated by DIE hires? So in this case, will the Captain be relieved of duty and face a court-martial. Or just the idiots that fired that missile? Any Navy folks know the possible outcome here, absent a firing control system failure?

At least it wasn't an airliner.
