The remains of a number of US sailors have been found in sealed compartments aboard the USS John S. McCain.
Admiral Scott Swift also said at a news conference in Singapore yesterday that Malaysian officials have found one body that has not yet been identified.
The focus of the search for 10 US sailors missing after a collision between the USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker in Southeast Asian waters shifted to the damaged destroyer's flooded compartments.
Five sailors were injured.
It was the second major collision in two months involving the Pacific‑based 7th Fleet and the Navy has ordered a broad investigation into its performance and readiness.
Seven sailors died in June when the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship collided in waters off Japan.
