Navy Gives Update On Search For Sailor Lost When Helicopter Went Down

The missing sailor, whose name is being withheld until relatives are notified, is the 14th American service member confirmed killed in the escalating war with Iran, the New York Post reported.

The helicopter was based on the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier.

It went down around 3:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, July 1, in waters within the area of responsibility of U.S. Central Command.

There is no evidence that hostile action was involved in the emergency landing, although the cause is still under investigation, military officials said.
