crew members based out of Naval Air Station North
Island were "accounted for and stable" following a
crash Sunday in the Red Sea, but rescue crews
continued to search for two others, the Navy
announced Sunday. The crash, in the central part of the sea between
Africa and Asia, was not related to hostile activity,
according to Navy spokespersons at Central

Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 6, and had been
operating with the San Diego-based guided-missile
destroyer USS William P. Lawrence and the USS
Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in January, Navy officials
said. Navy officials said the crash remained under
investigation. The USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group was providing
aircraft and small boats for search and rescue
assistance, according to the Navy. The task force
includes the Nimitz and the William P. Lawrence,
along with USS Princeton, USS Shoup, USS Stockdale
and USNS Rainier.
MH-60R Seahawks from Helicopter Maritime Strike
Squadron 75, a P-3 from Patrol Squadron and
additional Knighthawks from Helicopter Sea
Combat Squadron were searching for the two
missing aviators. The exact location of the crash was not disclosed.
The Red Sea is the body of water that separates
Africa and Asia, off the west coast of Saudi Arabia.
