Prayers for their souls, and prayers for their family and loved ones. Bless and comfort them in their loss.

Sad news indeed. It’s just in the US media.

Number of missing U.S. sailors found dead after collision with merchant ship off coast of Japan

God rest their souls.

Philippine flagged ship, right? Investigate to see if captain or whoever was at the helm were a muslim.

Seafaring is a dangerous occupation. That goes doubly for Naval personnel. More Sailors were lost at Guadalcanal than Marines. Those “safe” ships can become deathtraps in a heartbeat. Prayers to the families.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Hard to explain the unusual maneuvering of the container ship, but regardless, the Fitz should have been nimble and alert enough to avoid being broadsided.
