The U.S. Navy identified Sunday seven sailors who were lost aboard the USS Fitzgerald after a Japanese merchant vessel struck the warship miles off the Japanese coast. The USS Fitzgerald was back at its home port in Yokosuka Naval Base south of Tokyo by sunset Saturday. After stabilizing the USS Fitzgerald, the destroyer USS Dewey had joined other American and Japanese vessels and aircraft in the search for the missing sailors. Benson was in his stateroom at the time of the collision, officials tell Fox News. The USS Fitzgerald collision is the third mishap since February involving Navy warships near Japan.
