Divers Find Remains in Search of U.S. Navy Ship Damaged in Collision

Divers have found remains of missing American sailors in the flooded compartments of the Navy destroyer John S. McCain, which collided with an oil tanker on Monday off the coast of Singapore, the commander of the United States Pacific Fleet said Tuesday.

The commander, Adm. Scott H. Swift, also said that “potential remains” had been located by the Malaysian Navy, which is involved with the search effort at sea for the 10 missing sailors.

Ships and aircraft from five nations have been searching for the missing sailors near the site of the collision, in waters claimed by both Malaysia and Singapore. Each of those two countries claimed to be leading the search effort at sea, which includes ships and planes from the United States, Indonesia and Australia.

The John S. McCain was docked on Tuesday at Changi Naval Base in Singapore, with a gaping hole in its port side at the waterline.

The collision was the second in two months involving a destroyer from the Navy’s Seventh Fleet, which is based in Yokosuka, Japan.

Twin Peaks 2017 episode 6: People are furious Audrey Horne still hasn’t appeared

*WARNING: SPOILERS FOR TWIN PEAKS SEASON 3 EPISODE 6* It’s been such a delight to see the whole gang back for season 3 of Twin Peaks: Cooper, Bobby, Laura, Shelly, and James. We even met Diane.

But one fan favourite has been notably absent, and with six episodes having already passed, fans are getting restless: when will we get to see Audrey Horne?

Sherilyn Fenn has been confirmed to return and has been promoted alongside the rest of the main cast, yet she’s the only major returning character not to have put in an appearance yet…

Mike Dubke, Trump’s communications spin doctor director, has resigned

The veteran GOP strategist resigned on May 18, and Trump accepted immediately.

Mike Dubke, President Donald Trump’s communications director, has resigned, Dubke told POLITICO.

The veteran GOP strategist resigned on May 18, and Trump accepted immediately, Dubke said, adding that he offered to stay through the president’s first foreign trip to ensure there was a smooth transition as he exited.

Dubke is still coming into work, and his last day has not yet been set.

Previously, he had helped found Crossroads Media, a Republican media services firm.

Dubke’s resignation may serve as an opportunity to revamp Trump’s communications team, which has frequently come under criticism during the early months of the president’s term.

This is a breaking story. Please check back for updates.
