We lost an A7 and its plane captain as it was being re-spotted. Happened at night, big seas and the tow bar broke. Was storming and the canopy was down. Plane went off the elevator (flight deck level) and we weren’t able to recover him,,, just gone.
Losing aircraft and personnel is a semi regular event on a carrier unfortunately. At least it seemed so in the 4.5 yrs I was aboard the “E”.
