Navy IDs sailor killed on carrier

The Navy identified a sailor Sept. 17 who was killed on the flight deck of the carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). Airman Apprentice Joseph Min Naglak was working on the flight deck of the carrier when struck by the propeller of an E-2C Hawkeye after he had secured the aircraft to the deck. The carrier was conducting flight operations qualifications at the time. Naglak, from New Jersey, has been aboard CVN-77 since completing naval aviation technical training in Pensacola, Fla., after enlisting in the Navy in April 2017, according to Naval Air Force Atlantic.
