It does not look like much hope is left to find the three missing sailors from the C-2 Greyhound transport aircraft crash as the Navy has suspended their search efforts.

The U.S. Navy suspended the search for three sailors who had been missing since a cargo plane crashed in the Western Pacific more than 36 hours earlier.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with our lost shipmates and their families,” Rear Adm. Marc Dalton said in a statement released late Thursday. “As difficult as this is, we are thankful for the rapid and effective response that led to the rescue of eight of our shipmates, and I appreciate the professionalism and dedication shown by all who participated in the search efforts.”
