A U.S. sailor who was “lost overboard' from the guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG-87) has been identified by the U.S. Navy.
The U.S. Navy identified a sailor who was "lost overboard" from the guided-missile destroyer USS Mason while deployed in the Red Sea. The sailor, Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Oriola Michael Aregbesola, went overboard on March 20, Navy officials said in a statement on Saturday. Aregbesola, a 34-year-old from Miramar, Florida, died "as a result of a non-combat related incident," a separate statement from the Department of Defense said.
He joined the Navy in July 2020 and reported to HSM-74 in December of that year. "Petty Officer Aregbesola fully embodied the selfless character and thoughtful warrior spirit of the United States Navy Sailor," Cmdr. Eric Kohut, HSM-74 commanding officer, said in a statement. "His outstanding performance prior to and during deployment went well beyond aircraft maintenance; he truly saw and valued every member of the ship/air team.
