The carrier was conducting flight operations while transiting the Celebes Sea in the Western Pacific, south of the Philippines and east of the island of Borneo.<br\/><br\/> A helicopter assigned to the carrier&#8217;s Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 4 safely recovered the pilot.<br\/><br\/> The incident is under investigation, according to the Navy. The pilot is being assessed by the carrier&#8217;s medical team, but there are no reported injuries at this time.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carrier Carl Vinson is currently on its way to the Korean Peninsula as a show of force amid\u00a0North Korea&#8217;s\u00a0recent long range missile tests and reports of planned nuclear weapons tests.
