The Navy is still looking for a sailor who fell overboard from the aircraft carrier "Kitty Hawk."

There is still a lot of hope:

The search was still underway nearly 24 hours later, with no indication it would be called off soon. The reluctance to give up the search for a sailor is not unusual, especially in warm waters like those of the Arabian Sea.



Men and women assigned to aircraft carriers are taught how to survive falling overboard and are considered able to live for days in rough waters, without aid. In 1995, a 20-year-old Marine who fell overboard used his pants to make a float and drifted for 36 hours before being rescued by a Pakistani fisherman.
