(UTV|COLOMBO) – The former commanders of two US Navy destroyers involved in collisions last year are to face charges including negligent homicide, the navy says.
The USS Fitzgerald and a Philippine container ship collided in June, leaving seven navy sailors dead.
Two months later, the USS John S McCain and an oil tanker collided near Singapore, killing 10 navy sailors.
Investigations have already found that both incidents were preventable and the result of “multiple failures”.
