Missing sailors found dead inside Navy destroyer that collided with container ship
The seven sailors that were missing following a collision between a U.S. Navy ship and a merchant ship have been found dead, a U.S. official confirmed to ABC News.
The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Fitzgerald collided with a Philippine container ship off the coast of Japan in the early hours of Saturday morning local time, according to the Navy's 7th Fleet. The Fitzgerald was operating about 56 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, Japan, when it hit the container ship at approximately 2:30 a.m. local time.
Initially, five sailors were reported injured and seven sailors were reported missing, though the remains of those sailors have since been found.
取り上げる表現は"nautical mile"です。『ジーニアス英和辞典』第４版（大修館）で"nautical"を調べてみると、「航海（術）の、船員の、船舶の」とあり、"nautical mile"で「１カイリ（＝a sea mile)[1852m]」とありました。
LDOCEでは、"a unit for measuring distance at sea, equal to about 1.15 miles or 1,852 metres"と定義されていました。
調べによると、５人が負傷し、７人が行方不明となっていたとのことです。(Akim)
