The deployed aircraft carrier Carl Vinson suffered four so-called “Class A” mishaps among its aircraft in the final six weeks of 2021, with three occurring in the space of a week, according to Naval Safety Center data.

No sailors were reported injured in any of the Class A mishaps, which involve damages of $2.5 million or more.

The most recent mishap occurred Dec. 31, when a CMV-22B Osprey suffered a starboard engine fire while stationary on Carl Vinson’s flight deck, the carrier’s spokeswoman, Lt. Cmdr. Christina Gibson, said in an email.
