Five sailors have been reported injured and 10 are missing after the USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with a merchant vessel on Monday morning

US guided-missile destroyer collided with merchant vessel Alnic MC at 5.24am east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca

The Alnic MC, an oil tanker, is 600feet long and the John McCain is 505feet long

John McCain is now sailing under its own power and heading to port, Navy said

Crew is reportedly fighting flooding in two crew berthings and the 'shaft alley'

John McCain sustained damage to port side aft, or the left rear, of the ship

This is the second collision involving a ship from the Navy's 7th Fleet in the Pacific in two months

The USS Fitzgerald and a container ship hit each other in waters off Japan in June

Has John ever worked for a living, like in a real job?

Or has John just had a nice life on the public payroll, courtesy of US tax-slavers.

(P.S. isn't John due for expiratia very soon?)

I wish someone could make me understand how two huge ships out in a wide expanse of water can still manage to crash into each other. Even in the dark of night these ships are covered in lights and they all have radar that would alert the helm if they were close to another vessel. I just don't get it.

And what legitimate business does a US guided missile destroyer have in the waters near Singapore?

Death to the Military Industrial Complex!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Tybee, ITA. Is there something more going on over there? Have to see what the government is going to give as the cause of this one. Maybe send Jivanka over to check it out since they know so much.
