A US Navy F-35C Lightning II Jet has crashed in the South China Sea.
The Joint Strike Fighter jet impacted the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson during landing, according to a US Navy spokesperson.
This led to the Lightning II, which costs around $100 million per plane, falling into the water.
Seven sailors on board the USS Carl Vinson, which is a Nimitz Class supercarrier, were injured. That includes the pilot, who was able to safely eject before impact, and was recovered from the sea.
