Washington | A navy fighter jet failed to land on an aircraft carrier and plummeted into the Red Sea this week, marking the fourth major mishap involving the vessel and the third loss of a fighter jet deployed with it since the warship left home last year.
The F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet, worth about $US67 million ($104 million), went overboard after an unsuccessful attempt to slow it down upon landing on the USS Harry S. Truman, the navy said in a statement.
