A Center for International and Strategic Studies analysis warns that the Trump administration's use of strikes on alleged drug vessels poses serious risks.
Sixteen aircraft dropped 124,000 pounds of ordnance in less than two minutes during a Feb. 1 airstrike in Somalia, a defense official told Military Times.
The incident, in which the pilots were safely recovered, marks the third time since December that an F/A-18 assigned to the carrier Truman has been lost.
