A Navy electronic-warfare aircraft crashed into San Diego Bay near Naval Air Station North Island on Wednesday, sending two service members to the hospital.
The Navy confirmed there were two pilots onboard the Boeing EA-18G Growler, and both were rescued.
The crash was reported near Shelter Island just after 10:16 a.m. local time, according to the San Diego Fire Department.
The Coast Guard San Diego Office confirmed to Fox News that the pilots were rescued by a fishing vessel. They were then transferred to CBP Air and Marine Operations.
The pilots were both taken to a local hospital and were said to be in stable condition, according to the Coast Guard.
A navy official told Fox News Digital it is unclear if a distress signal was sent out prior to the crash, and the pilots have not yet been identified.
Fire officials sent 60 personnel to the scene, including two fire trucks, a foam truck, five engines, a helicopter, two boats and a lifeguard river team.
Both pilots were in the water for about a minute, the Coast Guard said. The wreckage remains in the water.
According to Boeing, the EA-18G Growler is an advanced airborne electronic attack aircraft. It provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world.
