[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the 5th major mishap while under defense secretary Hegseth.  3 lost planes, a collison, an accident shooting of another plane.

The Truman has been operating in the Red Sea since last year when it was deployed to help protect commercial ships against near-constant attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The carrier was slated to come home last month, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth extended its deployment while ordering another carrier -- the USS Carl Vinson -- to the region to bolster military power.[/quote]

Also I'm not pilot but this reminds me of opening scene in Top Gun --- jet is landing quickly and a wire on the ship stops it.

The jet failing to land on the ship is either due to the pilot on the jet not landing exactly right so that the hook catches on the wire on the ship or the ship moving out of position so that the hook doesn't catch.
