The Navy has declared the man deceased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family has identified the missing sailor as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/12\/11\/family-identifies-missing-theodore-roosevelt-sailor\/\" target=_blank>Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Apprentice Ethan Goolsby<\/a> of San Antonio, Texas, Scripps affiliate KSAT reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/12\/11\/family-identifies-missing-theodore-roosevelt-sailor\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/goolsby.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Family identifies missing Theodore Roosevelt sailor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Ethan Goolsby graduated from basic training in January, his parents said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The search started Thursday morning after a lookout spotted what appeared to be a person in the water, a statement from the San Diego-based 3rd Fleet said. Three helicopters and a boat were launched in response, and one sailor was unaccounted for during a command-wide muster, the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe loss of our sailor is felt deeply by all on board,\u201d said Capt.

Doug Verissimo, commander of Carrier Strike Group Nine, said the strike group \u201csends our thoughts and prayers to the family and loved ones of our missing shipmate. I offer my thanks to all the sailors and Coast Guardsmen who were involved in the search,\u201d KGTV reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sailor\u2019s family was notified before
