The U.S. Navy is searching for a missing crew member after a helicopter made an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday morning.
The aircraft, an MH-60S Seahawk assigned to the USS George H.W. Bush, had four crew members aboard when it went down. Three were recovered and returned to the aircraft carrier in stable condition, according to the U.S. military.
One crew member remains missing, and search efforts are underway.
The twin-engine Seahawk can be used for search and rescue, combat support and other missions, according to The Hill. The USS George H.W. Bush is one of two aircraft carriers operating in the U.S. Central Command theater.
U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said there was no initial sign that the incident was caused by enemy activity.
There is “no indication the emergency was caused by hostile action,” U.S. Naval Forces Central Command wrote on social media.
The cause of the emergency water landing remains under investigation as Navy personnel continue searching for the missing crewman.
