The U.S. Navy has identified one dead and nine missing after their ship, USS John S. McCain, collided with a commercial vessel on Aug. 21.
The search for the missing sailors was suspended Thursday after a nearly 80-hour effort by the United States and its international partners, according to a statement from the Navy.
Search and rescue teams combed a 2100-square-mile area in search for the sailors. Their ship collided with Liberian-flagged merchant vessel Alnic MC.
Divers recovered the remains of 22-year-old Kenneth Aaron Smith of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He was an electronics technician, 3rd class.
