Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sailor missing from US aircraft carrier rehearsing strike on Iran’s doorstep A search and rescue operation is underway for a US Navy sailor who fell overboard from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. A Spanish and Pakistani ship are assisting the search. The sailor, whose name is being withheld in accordance with navy policy, was reported overboard on Wednesday. Search parties from the Lincoln and the cruiser USS Leyte Gulf are looking for the missing man, assisted by the Spanish frigate Mendez Nunez and the Pakistani frigate Aslat. The news comes amid reports that amphibious assault ship USS Boxer entered the Persian Gulf and shot down an Iranian drone. The Lincoln and her accompanying ships were deployed to the region in May, amid rising tensions between the US and Iran. The task force has been conducting “simulated strike operations” in preparations for a possible US attack on Iran. [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Hope they find him. |

Most jump with the intention of being rescued, just trying to get a medical discharge. Some do get blown overboard but the serious suicidals jump off the fantail and are made into minced meat by the props. |
