A Navy electronic warfare plane with a crew of four failed to return from a training mission and was the subject of a search 900 miles off the coast of San Diego, the Navy said. The Grumman-made EA6-B Prowler took off from the carrier Constellation for a nighttime training exercise and was declared overdue a few hours later. Names of the four crewmen were being withheld. “At this point, all we know is that it is missing and overdue,” said Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Bob Pritchard.
