SINGAPORE -- Divers have recovered the remains of all 10 sailors who went
missing after the USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided near
Singapore last week, the U.S. Navy said Monday.
Navy and Marine Corps divers had been searching in flooded compartments of
the destroyer for days after the damaged ship docked in Singapore. The cause
of the Aug. 21 collision is under investigation.
The crash ripped a gash in the McCain's hull, flooding crew berths and
machinery and communications rooms.

collision
The commander of the Navy's Japan-based 7th Fleet was fired last week after
a series of accidents this year raised questions about its operations. The
firing of Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, a three-star admiral, was a rare
dismissal of a high-ranking officer for operational reasons.
The Navy also ordered an operational pause for its fleets worldwide to make
sure all steps are being taken to ensure safe and effective operations. The
Pacific Fleet will also carry out a ship-by-ship review of its vessels,
looking at navigation, mechanical systems, bridge resource management and
training.
The victims ranged in age from 20 to 39 years old and came from eight U.S.
