The funniest part about this incident is how it happened. The Navy in the article claimed that the carrier made a sudden and hard turn to avoid incoming Houthi drone/missile strikes, causing the aircraft that was being towed on the flight deck to slide off the side of the ship. So they have now lost multiple multimillion dollar aircraft to a military force that has no airforce.
