A US Navy helicopter carrying six crew members crashed into the ocean off the coast of San Diego Tuesday afternoon, the Navy said in a statement. A search for its crew is ongoing.
One sailor was rescued from the water, said Navy Lt Sam Boyle, a 3rd Fleet spokesman in San Diego. Five are missing, the Navy said late Tuesday evening.
The MH-60S was operating off the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln conducting routine flight operations. The crash occurred about 60 nautical miles from shore, the Navy said.
