Gabriel Edwards, the commanding officer of a Navy squadron, as the aviator killed after an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter went down and made an emergency landing in the Arabian Sea. According to reporting from both Military Times and Navy Times, Edwards was aboard the helicopter along with three other sailors. The aircraft incident prompts an investigation into the circumstances leading to the downing and emergency landing.
