Happening now, a search and rescue effort under way for ten sailors missing after a navy ship collided with a tanker. The search and rescue operation is under way for ten u. S. Sailors missing after the uss john mccain collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. The navy says the collision occurred as the guided missile destroyer was heading towards singapore for a routine visit. After the collision, a gaping hold seen in the mccains left rear side. The impact caused significant damage to the hull of the ship, leading to flooding to nearby compartments, including the crews sleeping quarters. Five sailors sustained injuries. Four of those injured were medically evacuated to a hospital for nonlife threatening injuries. This is the second Navy Destroyer to collide with a merchant vessel in the pacific in two months. Back in june, seven sailors lost their lives when the uss fitzgerald collided with a much larger cargo ship off the coast of japan. Last week, the navy relieved the fitzgeralds Commanding Officer and two others for mistakes leading to the deadly crash. We now have two u. S. Navy ships, very sophisticated capable navy ships that are no longer in service in an area and time when the north korean threat is at its highest. Back at the white house last night, President Trump was asked about the mccains collision. The president also shared his concerns in a tweet. Thoughts and prayers are with our u. S.
