One Problem Solved, Turkey II Ed.

The US Navy has said it has retrieved a stealth fighter jet from the depths of the South China Sea where it sank after a "mishap" in January.
...
The F-35C Lightning II was retrieved on Wednesday from a depth of 12,400 feet (3,780 metres) using a remotely operated vehicle that fastened rigging and lift lines to the aircraft. A hook was lowered from a diving support ship's crane to the sea floor, which was attached to the rigging. The jet was then lifted to the surface and hoisted aboard the vessel.

That's pretty impressive; yanking a wreck off he sea floor from over two miles deep.

    Maybe instead of a drag chute, a Mae West balloon for them might be an option for the Navy version.
