Two U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornets crashed over the Western Pacific on Thursday. One of the pilots was found and has been rescued but the other remains missing as search teams continue searching for him.

The planes were operating at sea aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson when they crashed, according to CNN.

"Initial reports indicate the two jets collided," a Navy official said.

Though both fighter jets were not recovered, one of the pilots has been found and was rescued. He is currently being treated aboard USS Carl Vinson. The jets collided some 290 miles west of Wake Island, Navy 7th Fleet spokeswoman Lt. Lauren Cole told CNN. Wake Island is located around 2,400 miles west from Hawaii.

The U.S. Navy 7th Fleet released a statement explaining what happened, providing more details. The planes involved were "assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 94 and Strike Fighter Squadron 113."

None of the pilots involved have been identified but the search continues for the remaining missing pilot.

"The search for the second pilot includes the guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill and guided-missile destroyer USS Gridley, along with helicopters assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 15 and Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 73," explained the statement.

The Navy explained that all remaining aircraft in the air were recovered safely and an investigation was underway into the planes' collision.

"Carl Vinson and embarked Carrier Air Wing 17 are currently underway in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region," the statement explained about the carrier's mission in the area.

According to ABC News, the Carl Vinson left San Diego on Aug. 22 for operations in the Pacific Ocean. The ship would then travel to the Persian Gulf where it would relieve the USS George HW Bush, which has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS since the conflict in the region escalated.
