USS John S. McCain and USS Fitzgerald

USS John S. McCain and USS Fitzgerald

The USS John S. McCain, a guided-missile destroyer, was
involved in a collision early Monday with an oil tanker east
of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca resulting in damage to its
port side aft (left rear), according to the U.S. Navy.
Search and rescue efforts are underway, U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet
says. Officials say 10 sailors are missing and five are injured.
They say that four of the injured were medically evacuated by
a Republic of Singapore Navy Puma helicopter to a hospital in
Singapore for non-life threatening injuries. The fifth injured sailor
did not require further medical attention, according to officials.
The Singaporean Navy is sending assets to assist and the USS America
is en route to help.
Do you remember the collision of the USS Fitzgerald and
a Philippine cargo ship? The collision on June 17, which
occurred off the coast of Japan, resulted in the deaths of seven U.S.
Navy sailors.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to those who died
in these two collision accidents, and I also give a warm hospitality
to those who were injured.
Apart from that, I have big doubts. Why did such scandals, major
horrible accidents occur in succession? Did all of the leaders and
crews observe the rules? Were all of them careless then?
What do you think?

Navy Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations
ordered a pause in operations for the next couple of days to allow
fleet commanders to get together with leaders, sailors and command
officials and identify any immediate steps that need to be taken to
ensure safety.
