The Navy has recovered a $2 million anti-mine pod inadvertently dropped by one of its helicopters this month off the coast of Virginia, near the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
An MH-60S Knighthawk assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 2 on July 9 had an "unintentional jettison of the AN/AQS-235 Airborne Mine Neutralization pod over water in a training area north of Cape Henry," said Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, a spokeswoman for Naval Air Force Atlantic.
