Official Incident Report Date: 09/15/16 Subject: Disappearance of F/A-18 Super Hornet, Pilot Natasha "Phoenix" Trace, and WSO Robert "Bob" Floyd

Incident Summary: On Saturday, August 27, 2016, serial number [classified], piloted by Lieutenant Natasha Trace with Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) Lieutenant Robert Floyd, vanished during a routine training flight over [classified] at approximately 1400 hours. Contact was lost with the F/A-18 at approximately 1417 hours, minutes after departing from the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) for a scheduled training exercise. Repeated efforts to reestablish communication were unsuccessful. At approximately 1600 hours, Search and Rescue operations were launched. Search and Rescue ceased on Monday, August 29, 2016, after failing to recover the aircraft and its passengers.

An investigation led by [classified] has been assembled as of 09/05/16 to determine the cause of the disappearance. Weather conditions and radar data are being analyzed to better understand the circumstances surrounding the incident, and preliminary assessments indicate there were no distress signals or indications of malfunctions before communication was lost.

The disappearance of the F/A-18 Super Hornet remains under investigation, and the U.S. Navy is committed to providing updates as more information becomes available.

I wanna talk about ships and gender. Why?? Idk maybe the fact they are given names of certain gender sometimes? Like remember that time I was like "Nimitz carriers only have male names, but I want them to have some female ships"?. And despite names being male, ships are females mostly irl

Sometimes language affects gender. German, Russian and french, being languages based on gender, have ships as masculine. Yet it has always been tradition for ships to be females.

I wonder how it works in WoC tho. I have some WoC-ified ships that I'd like to share about:-

-> RMS Berengaria, formerly German and later British oceanliner, was originally named Imperator and was referred with "he/him" pronouns. But after being taken by the British, he later became a "she/her". And in my hc, she really didn't have a choice then but to play along.

-> George HW Bush (CVN-77), Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), and Harry S Truman (CVN-75) are all females in the Nimitz class, despite that they are named after males.

I'm not sure where to go much with this. I guess in WoC a ship really doesn't have it choice with names. I did once talk about how the assigned name need not be the Ship's real name, due to Flysenhower and Kittyhawk being referred with "The" before their names.

But it's interesting cause like, would all ships have the liberty to change their gender according to their preference or again have the disadvantage of needing to obey their superior companies? For those with built hc, how is the ships supposed to have an alternate name, like who would name them?

Rumors on Twitter the other day that the USS Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln left port in San Diego the other day, and apparently it seems to be true.

The French Navy is also closely involved, as the amphibious assault ship FS Tonnerre (L-9014), of the Mistral type, has been ordered to join the NATO naval force. The French are also sending a floating hospital to the area to help care for those in need in the Gaza Strip. Already, the US Navy's most modern aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), is in the eastern Mediterranean, while the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) is heading to the area. It is worth noting that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) sailed from the San Diego naval base yesterday, along with the battle group accompanying it. His destination is not yet known. A day earlier, another carrier battle group, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), had sailed from San Diego.

Without the CMV-22, the U.S. Navy needs 15 former C-2A to carry out missions aboard the aircraft carriers

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/20/2024 - 20:58in Military

The uncertainty of the return of the tiltrotor V-22 to full operation is leading the U.S. Navy to rethink its plans on how to refuel its aircraft carrier fleet in the short term, with more uncertainty in the long term, and the remaining C-2A Greyhounds become essential.

The service had initially planned to retire its remaining 15 C-2A Greyhound onboard delivery (COD) aircraft in the next two years and replace them with a total of 38 CMV-22B Ospreys, which DOT&E reported "not to be operationally adequate".

“For the luck of the Navy, the C-2 Greyhound is still available,” said Vice Admiral Air Boss Daniel Cheever at a panel at the WEST 2024 conference, co-organized by the U.S. Naval Institute and the AFCEA. "Limited operational impacts at this time, but there are still operational impacts. And when you look to the future, there are significant operational impacts."

As part of the Greyhounds' planned retirement, the U.S. Navy stopped training new C-2 pilots and began to reduce spare parts and logistical support for the 60-year project.

This transition, completed on the West Coast, is now paralyzed with the grounding of the V-22 in the U.S. Marines, Navy and Air Force after the fall of a USAF Special Operations MV-22 off the coast of Japan late last year.

The grounding of the Ospreys has already been out of operation for 75 days, with no indication of how long the grounding can continue.

The suspension of operation of the tiltrotors forced the U.S. Navy to exchange the V-22 aboard the West Coast aircraft carriers USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) and USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) for the C-2As of the East Coast Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40, the "Rawhides".

"The VRC-40 is currently emerging to fulfill the mission [COD] for aircraft carriers deployed in the 5ª and 7ª U.S. Fleets," says a statement from the Naval Air Forces. "There was no change in the planned retirement of C-2A for 2026."

Although there is still no change in the plan for the C-2, there is little indication of any of the forces for how long the V-22 will be able to remain out of service. After the initial grounding of the fleet, there was very limited information about the underlying cause of the grounding, in addition to a "potential material failure".

For the Marines, the situation is more terrible, said Lieutenant Karsten Heckl during the panel. He said that the operations of the 31ª Marine Expeditionary Unit based in Japan, the 26º MEU deployed in the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and the 15º MEU that is preparing to be deployed aboard the Boxer ARG had "dramatic impacts".

Navy officers said that Marines are allowed to use Ospreys deployed aboard the Bataan ARG in specific emergency situations. A main mission of the 26º MEU, currently deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean, is the evacuation of non-combatants from Lebanon.

Last month, the Assistant Commander of the Marine Corps, General Chris Mahoney, said that the Force risks losing proficiency with the aircraft the longer it stays on the ground.

"At some point, if a pilot does not fly, if a maintainer does not turn a wrench, if an observer or crew chief is not exercising his profession, this will become a matter of competence and then there will be a matter of safety," he said.
