One U.S. crew member was missing and three were rescued after a surveillance plane stationed with the USS Eisenhower crashed in the Arabian sea Wednesday, the U.S. navy said.
The E-2C Hawkeye craft from Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 121 crashed at approximately 2 p.m. local time.
It was returning to its ship after conducting operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom when it experienced mechanical malfunctions and the crew performed a controlled bailout, the U.S. Navy said in a statement.
