$180M; another hornet was shot down in a friendly fire incident last year. And this is the ship that collided with a container ship in the Med.

And a second F-18 was very nearly shot down by friendly fire in the same incident.

I wonder how many hours of sleep those sailors are getting a night.

6th Fleet is overextended and doesn't have time for adequate training and people have been saying this for two years now

It's a shame that US OOB is so limited as to keep such an underperforming crew/air wing on station. Feels like this should be a testing ground for cheap US one-ways, if the navy really needs to be there.
