U.S. Navy shows families video of sunken ship

HONOLULU, United States - The U.S. Navy on Feb. 17 showed video footage of a fisheries training ship sunk Feb. 9 by a U.S. submarine to relatives of the Japanese missing in the collision. The videotapes were taken by the Navy's remote control Scorpio-2 submersible, which detected the wreckage of the 499-ton Ehime Maru of Uwajima Fisheries High School on Feb. 16. The ship was found lying on the seabed some 600 meters underwater off Oahu Island. The submersible has not yet found any of the nine missing people. The Ehime Maru was struck by the 6,080-ton nuclear-powered submarine Greeneville while the U.S. vessel was making a rapid ascent.
