Four Missing From USS Stennis

S-3B Viking Failed To Return

Four naval aviators were listed as missing after failing to return to the carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) on the evening of Aug. 10.

The aircraft was conducting a routine training mission in the western Pacific Ocean as part of the Joint Air-Sea Exercise (JASEX) '04 with the Stennis and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) carrier strike groups (CSG).

JASEX focuses on integrated joint training among US military forces, enabling real-world proficiency in detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, and on land, in response to a range of mission areas. This type of training is a rare opportunity for these forces to work together in a maritime environment and to improve operational proficiency.

Search-and-rescue and support efforts are currently under way by both Stennis and Kitty Hawk CSGs.

An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway.
