"The remains of seven sailors previously reported missing were located in flooded berthing compartments, after divers gained access to the spaces...that were damaged when the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) was involved in a collision with the Philippine-flagged merchant vessel ACX Crystal," it said in a statement.
