US Navy destroyer collides with Oil Tanker off the coast of Singapore

Ten sailors are reported missing and five injured following a collision between the US guided-missile destroyer USS John S McCain and Alnic MC Oil Tanker off the coast of Singapore, says US Navy.

The warship has “sustained damage to her port side aft” in the collision, east of the straits of Malacca and Singapore. USS John McCain was preparing to port in Singapore when it struck the Liberian-flagged tanker.

However, the Destroyer is sailing under its own power and heading to Singapore’s port.
