SAN DIEGO (AP) - Navy vessels about 50 miles off the California coast searched Saturday for three crew members of a Navy helicopter that crashed during a training operation.
The Friday crash killed one crew member and left the remaining three missing as darkness fell over the Pacific.
The sailor died after being pulled alive from the water, said Navy spokesman Cmdr. Jack Hanzlik.
"It's a sad time whenever we lose shipmates like this, so our hearts and prayers go out to the families," Hanzlik said.
The helicopter, based at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, was on a training mission when it crashed at about 5:30 p.m. EST. The MH-60S, commonly known as a Seahawk, was on a mission off the USS Bonhomme Richard, near San Clemente Island, directly west of the Camp Pendleton Marine base. Cont.
