A U.S. Navy electronic-warfare aircraft crashed into San Diego Bay near Naval Air Station North Island on Wednesday, sending two service members to the hospital.
The Navy confirmed there were two pilots onboard the Boeing EA-18G Growler, and both were rescued.

The Coast Guard San Diego Office confirmed to Fox News that the pilots were rescued by a fishing vessel. They were then transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Air and Marine Operations.
The fishing company, H&M Landing, provided a statement to Fox News Digital claiming the aircraft experienced a “mechanical failure.”
“At approximately 10:15, the two pilots ejected from their aircraft after experiencing a mechanical failure,” according to the statement. “Moments later, the aircraft crashed into the bay. The Premier, which was in the immediate vicinity, swiftly responded to the emergency.”

The company said after seeing the pilots eject, the crew sped toward the pilots, before they even hit the water.
The fishing boat safely recovered the aviators and provided immediate assistance, according to H&M Landing.
“We are relieved and grateful to have had one of our vessels in the right place at the right time,” said Frank Ursitti, H&M Landing general manager. “Captain Brandon Viets and the crew of the Premier acted swiftly, and thanks to their professionalism, were able to bring these pilots to safety.”
The pilots were in the water for about a minute, the Coast Guard said.

Fire officials sent 60 personnel to the scene, including two fire trucks, a foam truck, five engines, a helicopter, two boats and a lifeguard river team.
Both pilots were taken to a local hospital and were said to be in stable condition, according to the Coast Guard.
A Navy official told Fox News Digital it is unclear if a distress signal was sent out prior to the crash, and the pilots have not yet been identified.
The wreckage remains in the water, the Coast Guard said.

H&M Landing said it is fully cooperating with the Navy and local authorities as they work to determine the cause of the crash.
According to Boeing, the EA-18G Growler is an advanced airborne electronic attack aircraft. It provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world.
The fighter jet is estimated to cost $67 million, according to the Navy.
The wreck comes after a recent string of fatal plane crashes across the country.

Oklahoma State EDGE Kyran Duhon plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Duhon was a member of the 2024 recruiting class.
Duhon spent one year at Oklahoma State, logged 16 total tackles (eight solo) across nine games. He began his career at UTEP, where he had a productive true freshman season, Duhon finished 2024 with 43 total tackles, including seven sacks and two PBUs.
At UTEP, his one season there resulted in second team All-Conference USA honors. He was also named to the On3 True Freshman All-America Team as well as the the Conference USA All-Freshman team.
However, Duhon’s stay in Stillwater didn’t go as expected. Oklahoma State finished the season with a 1-11 record, which included the Cowboys firing longtime head coach Mike Gundy after a 1-2 start. Doug Meacham was named interim head coach but ended the year 0-9.
Eric Morris has since been named as the program’s next head coach. He comes from North Texas, which finished with an 11-2 record and a trip to the American Conference championship game this past season. However, it doesn’t appear that Duhon will be sticking around during the changing of the guard at Oklahoma State this offseason.
Before college, Duhon was the No. 1,706 overall player in the class, and was recruited as the the No. 165 linebacker during the cycle, per the Rivals Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was ranked as the No. 242 overall player out of Texas.
Once the NCAA transfer portal opens on Jan. 2, players can officially enter their names in the NCAA transfer portal and go on to initiate contact with their preferred schools. The portal will be open for 15 days and close on Jan. 16.
Notably, players who are on teams competing in the national championship game are allowed five extra days to make their portal decision. The College Football Playoff championship game will be played on Jan. 19, so the players on those teams will be allowed until Jan. 24 to enter the portal and choose their next school.
To keep up with the latest players on the move, check out On3’s Transfer Portal wire. The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
