Search and rescue operations are underway around 60 miles off the coast of San Diego to rescue five military personnel who were onboard an MH-60S helicopter. The helicopter crashed into the ocean.
One crew member has been rescued following the crash and has been transported ashore and is expected to survive the incident.
Injuries to three of the sailors from the Lincoln were not serious, and they are being treated aboard the ship.
Two others had more severe injuries and were taken ashore for treatment.
The US Third Fleet said in an news release: "The aircraft, from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 8, was operating on deck before crashing into the sea."
