In addition to two sailors assigned to the Eisenhower that were injured in the incident, two naval aviators with Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) ejected from an unidentified two-seater aircraft – either a F/A-18F Super Hornet or EA-18G Growler – and were later recovered. One sailor was transported from the ship to a Norfolk-area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The U.S. Navy said, in a full statement on the incident to USNI News: “At approximately 6:18 p.m. EDT on Sept. 28, a mishap occurred during aircraft recovery operations aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) off the coast of Virginia,” reads the statement. “Both aviators were safely returned to the ship and are being evaluated by medical personnel. Four shipboard personnel were also injured during the mishap and are receiving medical care. One sailor is being transported to a Norfolk-area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.”
