00:00If you don't like surprises during routine missions but still want to know what really happened,
00:04here's the latest on the Navy's eventful day. On October 26, 2025, a U.S. Navy MH-60R Seahawk
00:11helicopter assigned to the Battle Cats crashed during routine operations from the USS Nimitz
00:16in the South China Sea. All three crew members were quickly rescued by the carrier's strike
00:21group and are now in stable condition. Just 30 minutes later, an F-A-18F Super Hornet from
00:27the Fighting Redcock Squadron crashed nearby. Both pilots safely ejected and were recovered
00:32without serious injuries. These back-to-back incidents occurred as the U.S. Navy continues
00:37regular missions in a region marked by rising geopolitical tensions and competing territorial
00:42claims. Investigations into both crashes are underway, but the Navy reports that all personnel
00:48are safe and stable. The commitment to safety and mission readiness remains top priority as
00:53operations continue in the South China Sea.
