TEN sailors remain missing after a US warship collided with an oil tanker east of Singapore before dawn on Monday, tearing a hole beneath the waterline and flooding compartments that include a crew sleeping area, the US Navy said, adding that an investigation is now under way.
The collision between guided-missile destroyer USS John S McCain and tanker Alnic MC was the second involving a US Navy destroyer and a merchant vessel in Asian waters in just over two months.
