    I’m still trying to imagine something the size of a carrier making hard turns

    A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

      Those are actually pretty agile for their size and can make hard turns
