An F/A-18 Super Hornet – flying a few miles behind the Hornet that was shot down in a "friendly fire" incident over the Red Sea – took evasive maneuvers after a second surface-to-air missile was fired from the cruiser USS Gettysburg, a source with knowledge of the incident tells Fox News.
The main conceptual idea of the article is that a second US Navy fighter jet almost got shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from the USS Gettysburg, likely in a "friendly fire" incident. The incident occurred on the same night another Navy jet was shot down over the Red Sea. A Navy official confirmed the second missile was fired and an investigation is underway to determine if it was targeting the second jet and if the USS Gettysburg deactivated the missile's guidance system. This highlights a serious potential safety issue within the Navy involving misidentification and friendly fire incidents.
