For the second time in just over a week, an F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet assigned to the USS Harry S. Truman has decided to take a dip in the Red Sea! This time, the pilots managed to escape with only minor injuries, which is great news because I hear medical bills are through the roof these days. The official statement from the defense department was about as boring as watching paint dry, but essentially, the plane failed to arrest itself properly and decided to take a swim instead.

An arrestment, for those of you who aren't up-to-date on your naval jargon (and let's be real, who is?), is the mechanism that a carrier uses to safely slow down and halt a fighter jet as it lands. It's like a giant brake system, except this time, the brakes failed, and the plane said, 'Screw it, I'm going for a swim!'

The pilots, being the brave souls they are, safely ejected and were rescued by a helicopter assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 11. They were then evaluated by medical personnel and assessed to have minor injuries, which is great news because I'm sure they didn't want to spend their vacation recovering from major injuries.

So there you have it, folks! It seems like the Red Sea is the new hotspot for fighter jets looking to cool off. Who knows, maybe next time they'll rent a yacht and actually enjoy the water instead of crashing into it!
