hours now. thankfully, as you mentioned, 8 of the 11 people were rescued yesterday and taken aboard the "uss ronald reagan" and are said to be in good condition. but this has been a horrendous year for the u.s. 7th fleet. the latest in a string of accidents, two of which have been fatal. the "uss john mccain" and an oil tanker collided near singapore in august, leaving ten dead. seven dead in japan, prompting the removal of eight top navy officers from their posts including the 7 fleet commander. now, the navy has said they'll be launching a full investigation into this latest calamity but it had been billed as the premier training event between u.s. and japanese forces. so i think it's going to raise a lot of questions again. kacie. >> ali, this seems to come at the worst time from a broader foreign policy perspective,
