Seventh Fleet said in a statement. An international search-and-rescue operation involving aircraft, divers and vessels is looking for the missing sailors over an area of about 5,500 sq km around the crash site. On Tuesday, US Navy and Marine divers found remains of missing sailors inside sealed sections of the damaged hull of the John S. McCain, which is moored at Singapore's Changi Naval Base. Four sailors injured in the crash left a Singapore hospital on Wednesday and have returned to duty, the US Seventh Fleet said. The Navy on Wednesday removed Seventh Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin citing "a loss of confidence in his ability to command" following the run of accidents.
