A Coordinated Theater Search Operation
- Fixed-Wing Surveillance: Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft deployed high-resolution synthetic aperture radar and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors to conduct sweeping oceanic search patterns.
- Surface Combatants: Guided-missile destroyers established rolling visual and thermal perimeters, dispatching small rigid-hull inflatable boats to comb regional surface currents.
- Rotary and Joint Sorties: Search-and-rescue Sea Hawks from sister squadrons maintained continuous low-altitude flights, supported by long-range maritime patrols flown by the U.S. Air Force.
Safety Board Convenes, Hostile Fire Ruled Out
Mourning an Accomplished Strike Wing Commander
