Three sailors who served on the same aircraft carrier in Virginia have turned up dead within a week, military officials said Tuesday.

A sailor was found unresponsive on board the USS George Washington this past Friday, as the carrier is being overhauled at the Newport News Shipbuilding, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Robert Myers said in a statement to NBC News.

That unidentified sailor was taken to Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News where the service member was pronounced dead.

That follows the cases of two sailors who "were found deceased" on April 9 and 10 in separate incidents, Myers said.

There are no immediate signs that these three deaths are connected to each other, officials said.

As war in Ukraine threatens global wheat supply, Washington farmers 'pray for rain' and good harvest

Apr. 17—WASHINGTON — Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sent global food prices soaring, but Washington wheat farmers like Marci Green aren't celebrating.

Green, a sixth-generation farmer who grows wheat outside Fairfield, is concerned rising costs of supplies like fuel and fertilizer will whittling away at this year's profits even after wheat prices hit a record high in March. She's also worried about the threat of a global food crisis as the war threatens to cut the supply of wheat and other crops from Ukraine and Russia.

"Russia and Ukraine are big wheat growers and wheat exporters, so of course that does affect the market globally," Green said. "The price is volatile and the price is up and down, but it's our inputs that are our bigger concern."

"Fuel, fertilizer, chemicals — the costs for those have gone up dramatically. They were going up before the war in Ukraine and this is just making it worse."

Global food prices rose to their highest-ever level in March, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported April 8, with wheat prices up nearly 20% from a month earlier. Russia and Ukraine together represent more than a quarter of the world's wheat exports, with most of their crops sold to countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Randy Fortenbery, chair of the School of Economic Sciences at Washington State University, said Ukraine is likely to export virtually no wheat this year as the war disrupts seeding and harvesting crops and cuts off most export lines. Russia's government, meanwhile, may restrict wheat exports to control prices for Russian consumers, Fortenbery said.
