Leaked video sees $100m US F-35 stealth fighter crash land on carrier
Leaked video of a US Navy F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed into the South China Sea last month has surfaced. Video shows the moment $100m jet slams into the aircraft carrier and explodes.

What was that plume rising into the air quite close to the ship after the jet went into the water?

Well, I have to say that I’m IMPRESSED!
Any tin plane would have completely broken up on an impact like that - they definitely would not have bounced like that!
The jockey may have screwed up and got injured, but that massive structure has probably saved his bacon like he was crashing an F1 at Nuremberg.

So "A Navy officer and four senior enlisted leaders are facing non-judicial punishment "
Quite wide ranging non judicial punishment in the US Navy a decent "shopping" list for the authorities to pick from.
"The punishments meted out for an NJP offense are limited to confinement on diminished rations, restriction to certain specified areas, such as not being allowed to leave a ship or base, arrest in quarters, correctional custody, extra duties, forfeiture of pay, detention of pay and reduction in grade."

Why have you used future tense and past tense about one subject in the same sentence ?

It happened like this guv'nr. In his own words
"I tried for emergency power - that didn't work, then I tried to slap on the brakes - that didn't work either… so I kind of knew it was going to roll off the ship."

Royal Navy F-35 pilot tells of ejecting seconds before crash
The Royal Navy officer says the £100m jet was going to roll off HMS Queen Elizabeth after it lost power.

Impressed that multiple personnel missed removing of the blank. Back in the early 90s we had to lay the blanks/bungs/locks out for the crew to count before we put them away in the stowage bag and stashed them on board the aircraft.

I don't know which aircraft you worked on but in my time if we stowed the bungs and blanks inside the aircraft there wouldn't be any remaining room for fuel and weapons.

Bigger ones than you obviously. Our crews used to take golf clubs and all sorts of contraband all over.

Couldn’t agree more.
I’m all for changes over the years as they become necessary. No problem with Wrens on board, different forms of headress for different faiths etc…even vegans and atheists if they don’t force their views on others! …I’m all for traditions and ceremonies such as crossing the line/ equator etc but last weeks showing of such was an embarrassment along with other incidents shown throughout the series.
Whoever decided that the gobby twat working in the mess put forward a good representation of the Navy needs his arse kicking..lo and behold he’s now left the Navy due to his affinity to drugs. I wonder if the Jenny Wren who was professing her undying love for him has much of a career ahead of her?
Not a current F35 operator but I have been told that the blank in question is very easy to miss.....?
