Two U.S. Navy aviators ejected from their aircraft during landing operations aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off the Virginia coast on Monday, and four sailors on the carrier were injured, the Navy said.

The aviators, assigned to Carrier Air Wing 3, ejected after what the Navy described as a “mishap” during aircraft recovery operations. Search-and-rescue personnel safely recovered both aviators and returned them to the ship, where medical personnel were evaluating them.

Four shipboard personnel also received medical care. One was transported to a hospital in the Norfolk, Virginia, area with injuries described as not life-threatening.

The Navy did not identify the type of two-seat aircraft involved or provide details about what happened to it. The cause of the mishap was also not disclosed.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is a nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier commissioned in 1977.
