The U.S. Navy Is Hiding Aviation Accident Data

The Navy has restricted key accident information, removing it from public view.

The Naval Safety Center website has been an important stop for defense journalists and and enthusiasts for years. The site covered covered safety and accident data for the entire U.S. Navy, from how many sailors and Marines are involved in off-duty motorcycle and ATV accidents to major incidents involving aircraft. The site traditionally included accident data per type of aircraft—AV-8B Harriers or F/A-18C Hornets, for example—daily accident summaries, and general accident statistics. If you had a hunch a certain aircraft were suffering more mishaps than usual, or were wondering what the accident rate for September 2018 was, you could go to the Naval Safety Center for the data.

Not anymore.
