Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay Evans and Lt. Serena Wileman, two highly skilled aviators, tragically lost their lives in a training accident after returning from combat missions against the Houthis.
The Navy's Carrier Strike Group 2 described Evans and Wileman as combat-decorated aviators who spent nine months aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower during the counter-Houthi campaign.
Their deployment included flying multiple strikes into Houthi territory, marking them as trailblazers among women aviators participating in direct combat missions.
The Navy emphasized the significance of their missions, as they integrated advanced electronic warfare capabilities to target Houthi military assets in Yemen.
