Second U.S. Navy fighter narrowly avoided being shot down in a friendly fire incident: source. A US Navy spokesman confirmed that the second SM-2 missile was fired at an unnamed target from the aircraft carrier USS Gettysburg. Over the Red Sea, the second plane almost suffered the same fate as the first, downed plane. The F/A-18 Super Hornet, flying several miles behind the downed Hornet, was forced to take evasive action after a second surface-to-air missile was fired from the cruiser USS Gettysburg, narrowly missing 100 feet from the second aircraft preparing to board the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman. a source informed about the incident.
Naturally, no one was going to report what actually happened there. After all, there could be another reason for shooting at their own planes.
