Eight people have been rescued and are in “good condition” after a U.S. Navy cargo plane carrying 11 crew members and passengers crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Japan.
The search for the remaining three people is continuing.
It was the latest accident to befall the 7th Fleet, which is based in the Japanese port of Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, and has endured multiple collisions at sea this year, including two that involved guided‑missile destroyers and left 17 sailors dead.
