[Tony]

Navy ships continued their search on Monday morning for a sailor who was reported missing in the North Arabian Sea on Sunday.

The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton were both conducting search-and-rescue operations, the 5th Fleet said in a brief statement. A “man overboard” alert was sounded at 6:47 p.m. on Sunday after the crew searched extensively and was unable to find the sailor aboard the Nimitz, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet told the Associated Press. https://www.stripes.com/news/navy/navy-continues-overnight-search-for-missing-us-sailor-in-arabian-sea-1.644104
