flag Navy blames training, fatigue, and leadership for four USS Truman incidents, including a friendly fire crash and ship collision during 2024–2025 Red Sea deployment.

flag The Navy released investigations into four incidents involving the USS Harry S. Truman during its 2024–2025 Red Sea deployment, including a December 2024 friendly fire event that downed an F/A-18F due to poor training and tech overreliance, a February 2025 collision with a merchant vessel caused by unsafe speed and navigation failures, and the loss of three aircraft—two overboard during evasive maneuvers and one during landing due to a failed arresting wire. flag Investigators cited crew fatigue, high operational tempo, communication breakdowns, maintenance lapses, and leadership shortcomings as systemic factors. flag The commanding officer was relieved, and Navy leaders acknowledged the strain of sustained combat operations, emphasizing reforms to improve readiness and safety.
