The US Navy announced on Thursday that it was searching for a US sailor who may have gone overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. The sailor, whose identity was not released, was reported missing on Wednesday "after a reported man overboard incident," the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet said in a statement. Washington is seeking to form an international coalition to escort merchant ships in the region, and US Central Command chief Kenneth McKenzie pledged to work "aggressively" to ensure freedom of navigation in the highly sensitive waters through which much of the world's crude oil travels.
