The pilot of a US F-35 jet ejected as his jet crashed on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier in the South China Sea injuring seven, the US Pacific Fleet said in a statement Monday.
If it impacted the flight deck, that flight deck is decertified and can't be used outside of an emergency until it gets repaired and recertified. Good job F-35.
I have a sneaking suspicion they'll ignore the recommendation and just keep using a defective aircraft carrier until we get another Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

yep. this sounds like hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage, if not billions.
