The News of My Having Fallen Overboard Has Been Greatly Exaggerated.

A missing sailor from the USS Shiloh who triggered a massive man overboard search in the Philippine Sea has been found alive on board the ship.

U.S. helicopters and aircraft, five U.S. ships, and three Japanese ships participated in the search, according to the Navy's 7th Fleet.

The search was suspended at midnight on June 11 and the Navy released the sailor's name, presumably after he was determined to have been lost at sea.

After he was found in the engineering spaces of the Shiloh on Thursday, Mims was transferred to the USS Reagan for a medical evaluation. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are under investigation, a press release from the 7th Fleet said.

Being on the boat is not like being on shore. It doesn't take much for people to go a bit bonkers. Some hurt themselves and others try to hurt their shipmates. At this point we don't know enough facts to determine which this was. If either and not just a misunderstanding.
