Monday's total solar eclipse will come to Americans in varying degrees of visual clarity, according to ABC News meteorologists, who say that the clearest skies are likely to appear in the Northwest in cities like San Francisco, Salem and Seattle. NASA has published an interactive map that shows the times for the partial and total eclipse anywhere in world. What happens during a total solar eclipse?

Ten US sailors were missing after a US destroyer collided with an oil tanker in southeast Asia, the second serious accident involving American Navy ships in the region in little more than two months. Search and rescue efforts were launched  after the USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with the Alnic MC east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, the US 7th Fleet said in a statement.

"There are currently 10 sailors missing and five injured," the Japan-based 7th Fleet said.

The vessel was named in honour of the senator's grandfather and father, who were US admirals.   Based at the fleet's homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, the USS John S McCain has a crew of 23 officers, 24 chief petty officers and 291 enlisted sailors, according the Navy's website.  The ship it hit, the Liberian-flagged Alnic MC, is a 183 metre long oil tanker with a deadweight of more than 50,000 tonnes, according to the Marine Traffic website.  SAR activated for possible missing sailors from #ussjohnmccain collision off Johor #KDHandalan#KMmarudupic.twitter.com/qCa13yHmPO- Chief of Navy - PTL (@mykamarul) August 21, 2017 The vessel was carrying nearly 12,000 tonnes of fuel oil, but there was no oil spill, a crew member said.   "We are carrying 11,987 tonnes of fuel oil. There is no oil spill. We were carrying fuel oil from Taiwan to discharge to Singapore ... We are proceeding to Raffles Reserved Anchorage where the owners will investigate the matter. There was some damage to the valve," the crew member who did not want to be identified, told Reuters via telephone. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) lists the Raffles Reserved Anchorage to the South of Bukom Island to be reserved for "vessels requiring emergency repairs and damaged vessels or as directed by the Port Master." The MPA said no oil pollution had been reported and traffic in the busy Strait was not affected. No injuries were reported from the Alnic, it said.   The USS John S.

The waterways around Singapore are some of the busiest and most important in the world, carrying around a quarter of the world's trade in goods and oil. The accident comes two months after seven US sailors died when a US destroyer collided with a merchant ship off the Japanese coast. #USSJohnSMcCain: Family Assistance Center established for family members.

The Fitzgerald's captain was relieved of command and other sailors would be punished after the Navy found poor seamanship and flaws in keeping watch contributed to the collision, the Navy announced last week. An investigation into how and why the Fitzgerald collided with the other ship was not finished, but enough details were known to take those actions, the Navy said. Seven missing sailors found dead onboard USS Fitzgerald 01:05 Euan Graham, director of the international security programme at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, called the latest accident “extraordinary” and said it would certainly lead to the asking of pointed questions within the Navy. The incident also could affect the 7th Fleet and its readiness, Mr Graham said, according to the Washington Post. “They were already stretched after the Fitzgerald collision, and now they’ve lost a second frontline destroyer at an acute time in the region, with the tensions around North Korea and in the South China Sea,” he said. Hard to believe. Another US Navy/merchant vessel collision in the region - east of Singapore this time. https://t.co/t6zNVmf6we- Euan Graham (@graham_euan) August 20, 2017 The USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain are both ballistic missile defence (BMD) capable ships and part of the same Japan-based destroyer squadron. The Seventh Fleet has six ships assigned to BMD patrols, with half of those out on patrol at any one time. Asked whether the US Navy would need to bring forward other ships to maintain its strength, a spokesman for the Seventh Fleet told Reuters  it was "way too early to know".
