A Minnesota community gathered Sunday night to pray for Lance Cpl. Armando Ortiz Canseco, the Marine who went missing during a training exercise aboard USS Anchorage.
Navy officials said Ortiz Canseco disappeared around 1:20 a.m. Thursday while serving aboard USS Anchorage during integrated training. Initial search-and-rescue efforts began shortly afterward, but the military transitioned to a search-and-recovery mission at 9 p.m. Friday after an extensive search.
The search involved the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force. Military officials said crews searched approximately 2,400 square miles over 43 hours using three surface ships and 12 aircraft.
In Richfield, Minnesota, where Ortiz Canseco is from, family members invited the community to Oak Grove Lutheran Church for a vigil they called ‘under the stars’.
In a social media post, the church said, “The family wants Armando home.”
Marine veteran Lance Gilson said service members are trained to respond immediately when someone goes overboard.
“If a man overboard happens immediately a man overboard alarm would be sounded and then basically all hands-on deck in helps of finding the marine or sailor that just fell overboard as well as helicopters would spin up. Whatever assets that are on the ship, or at least in the fleet that can help find that missing service member they would spin, spin those up.”
Gilson also expressed hope for Ortiz Canseco and his family.
“But, you know, just pray to God they get him.”
