DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The U.S. Navy says it has recovered the body of an American Sailor who fell overboard in the Gulf of Oman.
A search was launched Tuesday evening after the Sailor was reported missing from the destroyer USS Halsey. The Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet said the Sailor's body was recovered Wednesday.
The identity of the Sailor hasn't been released.

Damn. Not what any of us wanted to hear.

Unfortunate that they didn't find her alive, on the brighter side at least they recovered the body.

Sorry to hear it.

(It's times like this we really need a more serious salute smiley. The grin just doesn't fit sometimes.)

An excellent point. Re-reading the stories I see no mention of gender. In fact it's pretty much a copy paste job from Navy Times<->MSNBC. Don't know who copied who there.

Regardless of gender, a shipmate is out there who needs help.

From MSNBC: "NBC News Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski and NBC News producer Courtney Kube contributed to this report."
