Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine expressed frustration over the multiple incidents involving F/A-18 fighter jets on the USS Harry S. Truman. Earlier this week, a fighter jet fell off the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier while landing, forcing its two pilots to eject, officials say.
Warner, Kaine share thoughts on three fighter jets lost from USS Harry S. Truman“This kind of sloppiness I’ve never seen before," said Warner. "I have said repeatedly Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, is in way over his head." The combined losses amounts to well over $100 million in taxpayer money — however, Kaine said he's also concerned about "the length of these deployments and it’s the fact that the U.S. has to have the Harry Truman in the Red Sea to stop Houthi aggression."
Before Hegseth became secretary of defense, a "friendly fire" incident occurred on Dec. 21, 2024, when the USS Gettysburg mistakenly shot down a fighter jet that had just taken off from the USS Harry S. Truman. Then, On April 28, an F/A-18E Super Hornet fell off the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier while it was actively under tow in the hangar bay.
