Remains Discovered of Some U.S. Sailors Missing after USS McCain Crash
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet says remains have been found of
some of the U.S. sailors who went missing after the USS John S. Mc Cain
collided with an oil tanker in the waters off Singapore. Ten sailors
were missing after the collision, and five more were injured. It's the
second time this summer that a Navy ship has collided with another
vessel at sea. In June, seven U.S. sailors died after the USS Fitzgerald
collided with a container ship south of Japan. Before that, on May 9,
USS Lake Champlain was hit by a fishing boat, and in January, the USS
Antietam ran aground.
