SINGAPORE, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy on Monday confirmed recovery of the remains of all 10 sailors killed after the warship John S. McCain collided with a merchant vessel in waters near Singapore and Malaysia.
The guided-missile destroyer collided with the Alnic MC east of Singapore last week while approaching the city state on a routine port visit.
The U.S. navy and marine corps divers have now recovered the remains of all 10 USS John S.McCain sailors, the Seventh Fleet said in a statement on its website.
