The Navy ended search-and-rescue efforts Tuesday for a sailor believed to have gone overboard this weekend from an aircraft carrier deployed to the Middle East.

Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Ian McKnight, 29, was not found following an extensive search in the North Arabian Sea after he was reported missing Sunday. McKnight is assigned to the carrier Nimitz, which searched for him, aided by the guided-missile cruiser Princeton and Navy and Air Force aircraft.

Weird story. Boatswains and Airmen get taken over the side more than most.
Why would an IT guy be up on deck? In any position to go Oscar?
I hope he had a kapok or something. But the way the story is written, I doubt it.

I was wondering about that too.  Those waters aren't like North Atlantic so that carrier was probably not rockin' and rollin' much.  Its more than a little suspicious, well sh+t happens.
