DIVERS FIND REMAINS OF SAILORS ON USS MCCAIN

Navy and Marine Corps divers located the remains of some of the 10 sailors missing from the USS John S. McCain after its collision with an oil tanker off Malaysia, the Navy said Tuesday.

Divers investigating damage to the ship probed sealed compartments and “were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments,” Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, said from Changi Naval Base in Singapore.

Swift said the Malaysian navy reported locating a body and was working to confirm whether it was one of the missing U.S. sailors. Naval ships from Singapore and Malaysia were aiding the U.S. Navy in a massive search Tuesday, Swift said.
