Recovery operation launched for missing marine from USS Anchorage
The US Navy announced the end of search-and-rescue efforts and the start of a recovery operation for a marine who went missing during training aboard the USS Anchorage. The search covered an area of 2,400 square miles.
The US Navy announced the end of search-and-rescue efforts and the start of a recovery operation for a marine who went missing from the USS Anchorage during integrated training off the coast of Southern California.
The marine was aboard the ship as part of training with the Camp Pendleton-based 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group. The search began Thursday and was converted to a recovery operation on Friday.
The operation involved three surface vessels and 12 aircraft from the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force. Officials said the search area covered approximately 2,400 square miles.
The Navy said the name of the missing marine will be kept confidential until notification of the family. A statement said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and everyone affected during this difficult time."
The USS Anchorage is an amphibious transport dock ship based at Naval Base San Diego. This incident marks at least the second search operation launched by the US military for missing service members in the last six weeks. In May, the remains of the second of two US soldiers who went missing during a training exercise in Morocco were found.
