US Navy hovercraft comes ashore near North Myrtle Beach

A Navy vessel came ashore on Thursday in part of the North Strand, WMBF reports.

Multiple videos sent in from WMBF News viewers showed the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) on the beach at Ocean Boulevard and Sea Mountain Highway in the Cherry Grove area.

North Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue posted a picture with the military members and said the U.S. Navy paid a visit to pick up some supplies for their offshore operation.

This comes as military boats, divers and other personnel are out searching for debris from a Chinese balloon that was shot down off the coast of Myrtle Beach on Saturday.

Debris from the balloon was also spotted in parts of North Myrtle Beach the next day.
