With 11 Marines rescued within an hour of the loss incident, Pentagon and Camp Pendleton officials have stated that 7 Marines remains missing. The Sea Knight CH-46, introduced in 1964, was on a training run. It had left the USS Bonhomme Richard and was enroute to the USS Pecos when it went into the sea. The Sea Knight is reproted to have sunk after the crash.

Officials stated family members of all individuals were being contacted and an intense Search and Recovery was underway, to include the Navy and Coast Guard. Conditions at sea were good with a water temperature of 59 degrees F.

The Marines have stated, "We will continue the search and rescue until all efforts are exhausted."

Please keep these Marines and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
