Ten sailors are missing and five have been reported injured after the USS John S McCain (main) was involved in a collision with a merchant vessel east of Singapore on Monday, the Navy has said. The collision between the US guided-missile destroyer and merchant vessel Alnic MC (inset left) was reported at 5.24am local time east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca while the John McCain was on its way to a routine port visit in Singapore. The Alnic MC is an oil and chemical tanker is 600feet long and the John McCain is 505feet long. It is now sailing under its own power and heading to port. The crew is reportedly fighting flooding in two crew berthings and an area of the ship known as the 'shaft alley'. The ship sustained damage to its port side aft, or the left rear and a picture taken of the destroyer shows where the ship sustained a hole(main). This is the second collision involving a ship from the Navy's 7th Fleet in the Pacific in two months. Seven sailors died in June when the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship hit each other in waters off Japan. A map showing the locations of both recent collisions is inset top right.
