| US Navy collision: Remains found in hunt for missing sailors | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Human remains have been found in the hunt for 10 US sailors missing after their destroyer collided with a tanker near Singapore, the navy says. | |
| The discovery came when divers were sent down to search inside the USS John S McCain, now berthed at Singapore's Changi naval base. | |
| The collision with a Liberian-flagged ship happened before dawn on Monday as the US vessel made a routine port call. | |
| The US has since ordered a worldwide "operational pause" of its navy fleet. | |
| It was the fourth crash involving a US Navy ship in a year, and the second in the past two months. | |
| The collision ripped open the port side of the US vessel, flooding some compartments. | |
| Admiral Scott Swift, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, said divers "were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments during their search today". | |
| The navy was also examining whether a body found by the Malaysian navy was one of the missing sailors, he said. |
