KOCHI, Japan, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- A Japanese naval vessel found the body of a U.S. Marine Corps pilot who ejected from his fighter jet during a training mission on Wednesday, after an extensive 24-hour search-and-rescue effort by U.S. and Japanese ships and aircraft.
The body of Marine Capt. Jake Frederick was found early Thursday by a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ship and brought to Marine Corps Base Camp Butler in Okinawa where he was pronounced dead.
