A U.S. Navy
helicopter crashed in the Pacific Ocean Thursday while conducting flight
operations just 24 miles east off the coast of Guam.
The entire
crew, which included two pilots and one air crewman, was safely recovered by
USS Dewey after their MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter went down. The crew did not
sustain any serious injuries in the crash.
It is not
immediately clear what caused the helicopter to crash. There is an
investigation underway.
The incident
comes less than a week after a Navy F/A-1 Super Hornet crashed while attemptingto land aboard USS Carl Vinson while heading north to waters
off the Korean Peninsula.
The pilot of that jet suffered only minor injuries.
