The US Navy said it found only "traces" of jet fuel in the water on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

But a sailor told Insider that they were exposed to an "unhealthy amount" of fuel and shared a photo as evidence.

They also said they didn't immediately receive medical attention, despite health concerns.

      US warplane shot down in Red Sea 'friendly fire' incident

      An American fighter jet has been shot down over the Red Sea in an apparent "friendly fire" incident, the US military has said. Both crew from the US Navy F/A-18 Hornet ejected safely, with one suffering minor injuries, according to Central Command. The incident came after the US carried out a series of air strikes against a missile storage site and command facilities in the Yemeni capital Sanaa operated by Iran-backed Houthi militants.
