In 2021, an F35 Lightning II from the Royal Navy carrier Queen Elizabeth crashed into the sea on take-off. It was later reported that the aircraft was recovered from a mile below the Mediterranean. Has there been any further public information about how the aircraft was recovered, what equipment was used, and whether the whole aircraft was raised or just the sensitive equipment that they carry?

1$\begingroup$ The recovery was likely done the same way the other F-35 in the South China sea was recovered. There are pictures of the recovered aircraft here: theaviationist.com/2022/01/21/photo-recovered-f-35b-wreckage $\endgroup$– Juan JimenezCommented Jul 12, 2023 at 16:13
