The United States has recovered an F-35C warplane that fell into the South Sea in a landing mishap in January, the U.S. Navy said on Thursday, fearing China would get involved in its retrieval.
The wreckage was recovered from a depth of about 12,400 feet using a remotely operated vehicle to attach rigging to the aircraft, which was then hoisted up by a diving support ship, the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet said in an email.
It will be delivered to a nearby military installation to aid in the ongoing investigation of the incident, the statement said.
