Wednesday's mishap is now the fourth crash involving U.S. military aircraft already this year. The two crewmembers of a United States Navy EA-18 Growler were reported to be in stable condition on Wednesday evening after their aircraft crashed in San Diego Harbor earlier in the day.

A U.S. Navy jet crashed Wednesday morning off the coast of San Diego and the two crewmembers were rescued, authorities said.

The Navy says some pieces of debris may resemble weapons or classified components. They are asking the public not to approach, touch, or collect any pieces that may wash ashore.

Two Navy pilots were rescued Wednesday morning after they ejected from their E/A-18 G Growler fighter jet that crashed into San Diego Bay, authorities said.

Two crew members ejected from a U.S. Navy jet before it crashed Wednesday off the San Diego coast and were quickly rescued by a sportfishing boat, authorities said. The two occupants of the EA-18G Growler were first picked up by the Premiere Sportfishing vessel then transferred to a nearby Customs and Border Protection vessel,

The E/A-18G Growler crashed into the water off San Diego after its two aviators ejected. The aircraft is believed to have crashed between Point Loma and Naval Air Station North Island.
