Divers find remains of all missing from USS McCain collision
Divers have recovered the remains of all 10 sailors who went missing after the USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided near Singapore last week, the U.S. Navy said Monday.
Navy and Marine Corps divers had been searching in flooded compartments of the destroyer for days after the damaged ship docked in Singapore. The cause of the Aug. 21 collision is under investigation.
The crash ripped a gash in the McCain's hull, flooding crew berths and machinery and communications rooms.
The commander of the Navy's Japan-based 7th Fleet was fired last week after a series of accidents this year raised questions about its operations. The firing of Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, a three-star admiral, was a rare dismissal of a high-ranking officer for operational reasons.
取り上げる単語は"berth"です。『ジーニアス英和辞典』第４版（大修館）で「投錨地、停泊位置、操船余地、バース」という意味がありました。LDOCEでは、"a place where a ship can stop and be tied up"や"a place for someone to sleep on a ship or on a train"と定義されています。今回の事故で船底に穴が開き、バースや機械類、通信室などが浸水したという状況が分かります。(Akim)
