(CNN) Ten US Navy sailors are missing after a US Navy guided-missile destroyer collided with a merchant ship east of Singapore early Monday, the Navy said in a statement.
The Navy's 7th Fleet said the USS John S. McCain collided with the merchant vessel Alnic MC while the destroyer was making its way to a port visit in Singapore. The collision was reported at 5:24 am local time, according to the Navy statement.
A Navy official told CNN the McCain was fighting flooding in several places and that it had limited propulsion and electrical power.
In addition to the 10 missing sailors, the Navy said five were injured in the collision.

How does this happen? Didn't another navy ship collide with another vessel a couple months ago?
