The Navy said it spent 2.4 million dollars to search and salvage an F-14 Tomcat after it fell from the USS John F. Kennedy into the North Atlantic near Scotland. The operation cost nearly 15 percent of the plane’s 16 million price and exceeded the original 1.7 million estimate. Atlantic Fleet spokesman Capt. Robert Gibson said the effort aimed to uncover causes and prevent future mishaps, noting the potential value in saving lives.
