The two aviators assigned to Carrier Air Wing 3 ejected from their aircraft during recovery operations and were promptly recovered. Both were returned to the ship for medical evaluation, while four shipboard personnel were injured, with one sailor being transported to a Norfolk-area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, the Navy added.
