Navy suspends search for missing Nimitz sailor
The U.S. Navy paused its efforts Thursday to locate a sailor assigned to the carrier Nimitz who disappeared in Guam on April 18. The search and rescue mission for sailor Gabriel D. Holt was halted at 9 a.m. after he was deemed 'duty status whereabouts unknown,' the service said. 'The Sailor's family has been notified,' a Navy press release said. Holt was last seen at 11:57 p.m. on April 18 during a regularly scheduled port visit at Naval Base Guam, the Guam Police Department said. Holt is described as being 6 feet tall, 192 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, last seen wearing a white tank top, green shorts and gray shoes, according to an Instagram post from the department. Search underway for missing Nimitz sailor Crews from U.S. military branches and local emergency response teams conducted the search for Holt, including those from Navy Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25, Navy P-8 Poseidon aircraft from Commander Task Force 72, Coast Guard Sentinel-class cutter Oliver Henry, Station Apra Harbor's 45-foot Response Boat-Mediums and Guam Fire Rescue. The vessels collectively logged 120 hours and traversed 11,000 square nautical miles in their quest to find Holt. 'We are deeply grateful for the efforts of all involved, including the Guam Fire Department, the Guam Police Department, the Navy, and our Coast Guard crews,' said Sara Muir, spokesperson for U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia. 'We remain ready to act on new leads and will continue supporting our Navy partners and the sailor's family. Our thoughts are with those affected by his disappearance.' Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or the Guam Police Department's Tumon Precinct Command at (671) 649-6330.

Search underway for missing Nimitz sailor
A sailor who disappeared during a scheduled port visit to Guam is still unaccounted for, according to local authorities and the U.S. Navy. Sailor Gabriel D. Holt, assigned to the aircraft carrier Nimitz, was last seen at 11:57 p.m. on April 18 between Hotel Nikko and Gun Beach, the Guam Police Department said. An April 19 Instagram post from the police department described Holt as 6 feet tall, 192 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, last seen wearing a white tank top, green shorts and gray shoes. Search and rescue efforts were underway for the sailor, according to Nimitz spokesperson Lt. Cmdr. Tim Pietrack. USS Nimitz waves goodbye to San Diego for likely final deployment 'At this time, all available agencies are actively engaged in efforts to locate the missing Sailor,' Pietrack said. 'The search is ongoing, and we are committed to fully cooperating with local authorities while search and rescue efforts continue.' Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or the Guam Police Department's Tumon Precinct Command at (671) 649-6330. The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group — which includes the aircraft carrier Nimitz, Carrier Air Wing 17, and Destroyer Squadron 9 — docked in Guam on April 18, the same day Holt went missing. The aircraft carrier is currently on what's likely to be its final deployment before it's decommissioned in 2026. It left Guam on April 21, according to the Navy.
