A civilian employee of the U.S. Navy is hospitalized in critical condition after a shark attack near the Naval Support Activity Panama City in Florida. Multiple outlets report that the incident occurs at or near the base’s marina. The worker was in the water during a midday break, according to officials cited by the reports. One outlet specifies the timing as about 11:45 a.m. local time, when the employee was swimming near the marina. Another report describes the activity as snorkeling. Authorities and investigators from state and local agencies examine the circumstances of the encounter, including where it happened and how the attack unfolded. The New York Post and NBC News describe the employee as a male civilian worker associated with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, while other sources refer more generally to the employee’s affiliation with the Naval Support Activity Panama City. No details are provided across the reports on the shark species or any suspects. The worker remains in critical condition as officials continue their investigation.
