The U.S. Navy has reported that its fighter jet had crashed into the Persian Gulf near the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, but both crew members were rescued safely by divers, Fox News reports.
The Navy cited engine failure on the F/A-18F Super Hornet as the reason for Monday's crash. An investigation is underway.
The Eisenhower is on a scheduled deployment in the Gulf region under the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which is based in Bahrain.
