Feels like a defeat

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5731422&forum_id=2E#48974164)

In late December, the missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, part of Truman's strike group, shot down an F/A-18 over the Red Sea in what the US military described as an "apparent case of friendly fire." The details of that incident remain limited.

In mid-February, the Truman collided with a large commercial vessel in the Mediterranean, near Egypt's Port Said. The carrier was damaged and had to sail to a US naval base for repairs. That incident led to the firing of the ship's commanding officer.

Several months later, in late April, when the Truman was back in the Red Sea, an F/A-18 and a tow tractor fell overboard while the fighter jet was under tow in the carrier's hangar bay. A sailor was forced to jump from the cockpit just before the plane went into the water. Some reports indicated the ship was taking evasive action at the time.

A little over a week later, in early May, an F/A-18 was landing on the flight deck of the Truman when the arresting cable, the thick black wires used to catch the tailhook on the back of carrier-based aircraft and slow them down, failed. The fighter jet went overboard. Both naval aviators safely ejected and were rescued by a helicopter.

2. Technical loss to enemy fire (Houthis managed to fire a missile close enough to the carrier that it had to take a hard turn and the plane fell into the sea)

3. Poor maintenance of the arresting gear

Of course you're Indian so you know jack shit about reality. If anyone tells you the truth, you get angry and accuse them of lying.
