Memorial held for seven sailors killed in USS Fitzgerald crash - Daily Mail

More than 2,000 sailors and their families attended the Monday ceremony in Yokosuka, Japan, where they lined the streets waving flags in memory of the victims and filled an auditorium to pay respects. 'It´s stunning, absolutely stunning, while we mourn the loss of the seven sailors, that more were not lost, and it was the heroism of the entire crew that ensured that was the case,' US Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Scott Swift said in a statement. The USS Fitzgerald, carrying nearly 300 crewmembers, collided with the Philippine-flagged container ship ACX Crystal in waters off Yokosuka in the pre-dawn hours of June 17.
