The bodies of several Navy sailors — missing after a collision between a U.S. destroyer and a massive cargo ship near Japan — were found inside their submerged vessel, officials said.
Search and rescue crews discovered the remains inside the Fitzgerald’s flooded berthing compartment early Sunday.
It was not immediately clear if the bodies of all seven missing sailors were found.
A Navy statement said only “a number of” remains were found. But the Wall Street Journal reported that all seven bodies were located.

The grim news came hours after the damaged destroyer limped into its home port.
The Navy ship collided in the dead of night with a container ship four times its size off the coast of Japan early Saturday.

Three crew members, including the ship’s commanding officer, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, were airlifted from the vessel by Japanese military helicopters during the ship’s slow 16-hour trip back to Yokosuka Naval Base south of Tokyo.

“All three sailors are awake and will remain under observation at the hospital until further notice,” the Navy said in a statement.

The Philippine-flagged ACX Crystal was berthed at Tokyo’s Oi wharf, where officials were questioning the crew about the cause of the nighttime crash.
The Navy said the collision occurred 56 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, home to the 7th Fleet.
“Right now we are focused on two things: the safety of the ship and the well-being of the sailors,” said Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

The names of the dead sailors were being withheld pending notification of their families.
“Thoughts and prayers with the sailors of USS Fitzgerald and their families,” President Trump said on Twitter. “Thank you to our Japanese allies for their assistance.”
The Japanese coast guard said it received an emergency call from the Philippine container ship reporting the collision at around 2:20 a.m.
The Fitzgerald suffered extensive damage above and beneath the waterline on its starboard side.

The crash damaged two berthing spaces, a machinery room and the radio room, according to the U.S. 7th Fleet.
Most of the more than 200 sailors aboard would have been asleep in their berths at the time.
Water was being pumped out of flooded areas and it was unclear how long it would take to get into the crushed mid-right side of the ship.
“This has been a difficult day,” said Vice Adm. Joseph P. Aucoin, the commander of the 7th Fleet. “I am humbled by the bravery and tenacity of the Fitzgerald crew. Now that the ship is in Yokosuka, I ask that you help the families by maintaining their privacy as we continue the search for our shipmates.”
The Fitzgerald’s captain, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, was airlifted early Saturday to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Yokosuka and was in stable condition with a head injury, the Navy said.

Two other crew members suffered cuts and bruises and were evacuated.
There were no reported injuries on the container ship, which is operated by the Japanese shipping company Nippon Yusen K.K.
The bow of the massive 730-foot-long long ship was dented and showed a few scrapes.
The incident is being treated as a case of possible professional negligence, said Masayuki Obara, a regional coast guard official.

Why did Trump let this happen? He is the Commander in Chief in charge of the military. Why are US Navy ships crashing and killing sailors?
Why is Trump golfing during this tragedy?
What sort of leader is bilking the tax payers to fill his golf resort coffers with our money while our brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen are suffering and sacrificing?
Trump makes me sick.

Trump went golfing while sailors were drowning. Its okay though. He has given all power to Mattis to make decisions so he can't be held responsible because he has given up the duties of Commander in Chief.

yea.
and what is true is sweden has a system they think is capable of being the "garmin" of shipping lanes for all oceans (and maybe ports)
and instead of even bothering to steal sweden's technology, democrats ran a sometimes BLOODY turf war in usa using tax money to use illegals to build housing (even in higher class areas where they couldn't afford it) and to put illegals blacks in the housing and give them social security or gov jobs: with democrat political families as landlors. these people are never "going to leave", of course. once they get in they are there for life. they did this for criminals even though they leave mc'donalds trash on a street they have no business even walking across.
the inflation of their having done that is so high to the effect having a management position STILL does not cover ones basic bills even to a minimum: rent, insurance, food, clothing
-----------------------
that expenditure of turf war in usa was instead of, say, making sure commercial ships, that when their port registers their path (which is supposedly always done), that the paths show up as pixels other captains can see to avoid. not to mention any system that might track it all real time.
so tell me why sharon bull-o-va needs to, for votes, pay criminal blacks and hispanics to live in what would be my land using turf war tactics including torture and intimidation ?

meanwhile china and japan (et al) are using counterfeiting (gov printing of money) to open whole factories
and bitches like bull-o-va, to stay in power, have allied with them and run a WELFARE SYSTEM that uses imports from countries she has alliances with to run the countless welfare programs - most of which are just programs that pay political children and help no one, 501c's, county programs, etc. not opening one productive factory. just loans to put usa in debt, amass more usa hating foreigners into dc without any payable form of business.

Don't worry. In a sign of respect, Trump will have their caskets draped with electoral maps.
