Navy releases $1.5 million plan to remove crashed jet still stuck underwater on Hawaiian coral reef
The Navy released a $1.5 million plan to remove a surveillance plane that overshot a runway at a military base in Hawaii and splashed into Kaneohe Bay, which is home to coral reefs, a breeding ground for hammerhead sharks and a University of Hawaii marine biology research institute. The salvage operation is estimated to be in that price range, a Navy spokesperson confirmed to CBS News, and "about $200,000 has been spent as of Dec. 1." -

Pentagon says a US warship, commercial ships attacked in Red Sea. Houthis claim attacking 2 ships
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An American warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said.

The attack potentially marked a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war. -

Now, one F-35C that was operating aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln off the California coast has appeared this week with similar coatings. -

We Might Have Just Seen the World's First Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile Attack
U.S. Navy destroyer Mason (DDG-87) was wrapping up a mission rescuing a tanker from pirates in the Gulf of Aden when the situation sharply escalated. The ship’s radar detected at least one—or possibly two—missiles moving toward its position at supersonic speeds, each loaded with well over a half-ton of explosives. The day before, Liberian-flagged tanker M/V Central Park—stuffed full of phosphoric acid—had issued a distress call after reportedly being boarded by unknown armed assailants 35 miles south of Yemen’s coast and 50 miles east of Djibouti. Central Park’s crew of 22 took shelter in the vessel’s ‘citadel’, an armored panic room.
