Captain Relieved After Carrier Crash

Something that "slipped through the cracks" (unless I missed it earlier). Credit for the find goes to my older brother.

From Military.com: Captain Relieved After Carrier Crash

In the crash, a dhow smashed into the starboard hull [of] the Kennedy. No survivors from the traditional Arab sailing boat were found. The dhow's origin, cargo and destination are unknown.

The Kennedy itself was unscathed, but two jet fighters on the deck were damaged when one slid into the other as the carrier made a hard turn to avoid the small boat, Navy officials said.


I wonder if they've tried to recover the sunken dhow? I wonder what it had on board? I wonder if the crew knew it was in the middle of a carrier group?

That's me though, I wonder 'bout alot of things.
