SINGAPORE - The remains of all 10 sailors lost from the USS John S. McCain after it collided with an oil tanker near Singapore on Aug 21 have been found within the vessel.

In an update on Monday (Aug 28), the US 7th Fleet said the US Navy and US Marine Corps divers have recovered the remains of all 10 sailors who had served on board the American guided-missile destroyer.

"The incident is under investigation to determine the facts and circumstances of the collision," the statement added.

Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said on Monday that recovery efforts on the vessel have now ceased, as the missing sailors have been recovered.

The collision damaged the US warship's left side, near the stern, punching a hole that stretched above and below the waterline.

Following the collision, Singapore coordinated a search and rescue operation with the United States, Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia, covering 5,524 sq km, an area more than seven times the size of Singapore, MPA said.

It also involved more than 300 personnel from Singapore agencies, including MPA, the Singapore Armed Forces, Singapore Police Coast Guard and the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

The Singapore-led search and rescue operation was suspended at 9pm on Aug 24 after the US Navy announced its suspension of search and rescue efforts to focus on recovery on the USS John S. McCain.

Singapore continued to support the US Navy in its search on the vessel at Changi Naval Base until all missing crew were accounted for, MPA added.

Mr Andrew Tan, MPA chief executive, said: “On behalf of all agencies involved in this search and rescue operation, MPA expresses (its) deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased US Navy crew. We hope they will find the strength to overcome this difficult time."

The area around the entrance to the Straits of Singapore is a cursed sea. Since ships plied that area, there had been many mishaps. In the mid 19th Century, many ships carrying opium on their way to China crashed into the rocks scattered around that place. Consequently, the Chamber of Commerce decided to build a lighthouse to enhance the safety of the Opium ships.

The Singapore authorities then approached the Sultan of Johore for permission to use the island of Batu Puteh to site the lighthouse.

Construction of the lighthouse was duly completed by Chinese labourers and the Lighthouse was officially opened with the invocation of Masonic prayers by leading members of Singapore's elite.

I think this calling upon the Masonic deities has added even more curses on the area concerned........

Almost the same scenario occurred in the earlier mishap involving the USS Fitzpatrick. After scouring thousands of sq kml of the sea, 7 corpses all found trapped within the flooded berthing area of the ship. So much time & resources wasted!
