HAGATNA, Guam — Four Navy aircrew members who ejected over the ocean before their plane crashed have been released from Naval Hospital Guam.

Navy spokesman Lt. Donnell Evans said it was unlikely the names of the four men would be released.

An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the crash of the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft, he said.

It was unknown whether the military will attempt to retrieve the wreckage.

Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Marcus Hirschberg said the four ejected at about 4 p.m. Tuesday about 20 miles northeast of Ritidian Point. The crew, belonging to Electronic Attack Squadron 136, had been training at nearby Andersen Air Force Base.
