So what is going on with the USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group? Over the weekend, this Nimitz-class super carrier lost its second F/A-18 Super Hornet in less than five months while conducting combat operations against the Houthis in Yemen… but just like the first loss, this Super Hornet didn’t go down from enemy fire.
