Did the fallout result in Beaver's response, or the CG response? Just curious. Not familiar with that incident.

I believe it was Beaver. Don't quote me on that. IIRC it was 2011 or 2012. Single F/A-18D from VMFA(AW)-121
Did a Google, and it appears this is what you were referring to. I now vaguely remember the incident. Haven't seen the mishap report tho.
Two Rescued After Marine Fighter Jet Goes Missing
The search for a Marine Corp F18 fighter jet that went missing over the Pacific Ocean ended early Thursday when search and rescue teams were able to lift two people from the water near San Diego.

Yep that's the one. I think I remember that they spent 4 hrs in the water waiting. Pilot never flew again, due to injuries sustained, if I recall
SIR was a good read, though obviously I can't provide details here
I may be misunderstanding your question, but those look like JANAPs, which is what we're talking about.
