Navy Ends Search For Sailor Lost When Sea Hawk Helicopter Went Down

The U.S. Navy has provided a major update on its search for a missing crew member.

The crew member vanished after an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter made an emergency landing in the Arabian Sea.

The U.S. Navy has tragically announced that it has concluded a rescue effort that lasted more than 102 hours and scoured more than 14,000 square miles of open water.

The sailor was never discovered. Four other crew members were rescued from the water and survived.

The missing sailor, whose name is being withheld until relatives are notified, is the 14th American service member confirmed killed in the escalating war with Iran, the New York Post reported.

The helicopter was based on the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier.
