Deep-Water Salvage Team to Recover Navy Plane in Philippine Sea

Military.com 8 Dec 2017 By Hope Hodge Seck

The Navy is deploying a team of deep-water salvage experts to recover a C-2A Greyhound transport aircraft that went down in the Philippine Sea on Nov. 22 en route to the carrier Ronald Reagan.

Three troops, including the pilot, were killed when the Greyhound crashed. Lt. Steven Combs, the pilot, has been credited with saving the lives of the other eight service members aboard by maneuvering to ditch the aircraft in choppy seas.
