US Sailors Found Dead After Collision

Seven missing sailors from the USS Fitzgerald were found dead in flooded berthing compartments following the warship's collision with a merchant vessel, a US military official said.

Hundreds of sailors were asleep in their berths on board the United States Navy destroyer Fitzgerald early on Saturday when a cargo ship struck it broadside off Japan. After a frantic search through twisted wreckage and flooded cabins, the Navy said on Sunday that several sailors did not survive.
