These things happen. My father served on a CV long ago, and he claimed that they pushed several aircraft over the side if they were deemed unreparable out of ship resources.

EDIT: Also, I think that's the first Houthi kill of an F-18.

In that case, we should bill the Israelis for the cost, since they're who the Houthis are pissed off at.
