US Navy recovers remains of all 10 sailors from USS McCain collision
The U.S. Navy announced on Sunday it had recovered the remains of all 10 sailors missing after a deadly collision in the Pacific Ocean.
The USS John S. McCain, a guided missile destroyer, collided with an oil tanker earlier this week, the second ship within three months to hit a commercial vessel.

Some of the sailors’ remains had been found earlier this week in the flooded part of the vessel.
The Navy says it is currently investigating the matter to determine the cause of the collision.
