A
"sudden turn" by the American warship USS John S. McCain led to a
collision with a tanker last year off Singapore that left 10 sailors
dead, a report by the city-state's government said Thursday.
Singapore's
transport ministry, releasing the results of its investigation into the
incident, said a "series of missteps" by the destroyer's crew and
insufficient action by those of the tanker, the Alnic MC, contributed to
the accident.
The
vessels smashed into each other in the predawn hours of August 21, 2017
in the busy shipping lanes around the Strait of Malacca. There were no
casualties among the tanker's crew.
