One crew member of the MH-60S helicopter has been found while an unknown number of others were still missing, the U.S. Third Fleet said in a statement.
"Search and rescue operations are ongoing with multiple Coast Guard and Navy air and surface assets," it said.
The MH-60S helicopter aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln crashed at 4:30 p.m. PST into the sea about 60 nautical miles off the coast of San Diego while conducting routine flight operations, the Third Fleet said.
