So in 6 months time, the Truman has shot one of their own down, and lost two more overboard.

The Gettysburg shot down the Truman F-18; the Truman didn't do the shooting.
It has dropped two F18s into the sea though.

To lose one expensive fighter jet is an accident...

To lose two is a big oof

I'm trying to imagine what they sound like falling into the water. I imagine a thud and screech as the front wheel goes over the edge. I doubt they sink straight away though, but is it a stealthy slide into the water, or a backwards somersault with a thwack.

It must sound amazing if it was worth hearing a second time. Maybe some of the boys missed the first one

A quick search prices them at about $50 to $70 million each
And I'm sure it would cost a lot more to replace them with something newer

Isn't that convenient, seeing how all the money DOGE has acquired will be wasted on military equipment
