USS-John S. McCain collision near Singapore; ship has significant damage
American, Singaporean and Malaysian armed forces on Monday are searching for 10 U.S. sailors missing after an early-morning collision between a Navy destroyer and a tanker near Singapore--the second collision involving a Navy ship in the Asia-Pacific region in two months.
The Navy says five sailors were hurt in Monday's collision between the USS John S. McCain and the 600-foot Alnic MC, an oil and chemical tanker. The four who required additional treatment were taken by helicopter to Singapore, where the McCain had been headed

Judging by the McCain's (RINO) track record, it was probably bad luck to give the ship this name.

Upon at first seeing the headline "John S. McCain collision" I thought for the shortest moment is was the senator himself...Ah but no such luck!

Old, I was in a collision at sea aboard a tin can. The USS Warrington lost steering during high lining, and a sailor was lost when the two destroyers came together, Very, very scary.

I was a Radarman aboard the USS Tawasa ATF-92, we towed what remained of the Evans to Subic Bay

I can not see any excuse for a US Navy ship to be involved in a collision if the OOD (Officer Of Deck) is well trained
