Three crew members of an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter were rescued and one remained missing after the vessel made an \u201cemergency water landing\u201d in the Arabian Sea early on Wednesday, according to a statement<\/a> from U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.<\/p>\n

The three crew members were in stable condition on board the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush, the aircraft carrier to which the four-person helicopter was assigned, and the Navy was continuing to search for the fourth member, the statement said.<\/p>\n

The emergency landing is under investigation, but there is no indication that it was caused by \u201chostile action,\u201d the Navy said.<\/p>\n

The George H.W. Bush was one of dozens of American warships<\/a> \u2014 including guided-missile destroyers, amphibious ships and minesweepers \u2014 deployed in the region<\/a> to enforce the United States\u2019 naval blockade of Iran.<\/p>\n

The blockade ended in June, and ship traffic has increased through the Strait of Hormuz, but an enduring peace between Iran and the United States remains elusive<\/a> following a recent series of attacks across the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n
