USS JOHN S McCAIN (DDG 56) in Collision

[Oyaji]

Another Yokosuka homeported destroyer has been involved in a collision at sea. Don't have the full story just yet but, it was the USS JOHN S McCAIN and a merchant ship that collided in the Malacca Straits near Singapore.

The Malacca Straits is a bottleneck that ships pass through from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean. It is an extremely busy seaway and is frequented by pirates.

Here's the FOX News link with the story..........
