US aircraft carrier group searches for missing sailor off the coast of Australia

By GARY WARNER STARS AND STRIPES •


The aircraft carrier USS George Washington and its strike group of warships and aircraft are searching the Timor Sea off Australia for a sailor reported missing Monday, the Navy confirmed. The search-and-rescue operations for a possible sailor overboard began after the command staff received word of a missing crew member.

“The ship initiated search-and-rescue procedures after receiving reports of a possible sailor overboard,” the USS George Washington said in a statement released by the Navy.

“Australian Defence Force and Australian Border Force assets are also supporting the U.S. Navy with the search-and-rescue efforts.” The sailor’s name is being withheld at this time, the Navy said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

We had a guy who was being hosted by the Marines; a brig banger.  He had been their guest for a few days and really didn't like it, I guess.  One morning while "exercising" on a sponson before chow, he decided to take a dip.  He jumped - right into the mouth of a shark - so there was no need to search for him. **nononono*
