Fisheries school asks U.S. to continue search for 9 missing

UWAJIMA, Japan - Uwajima Fisheries High School students submit a petition to the United States calling for the search for the nine Japanese missing in the Feb. 9 collision between their fisheries training ship and a U.S. submarine to continue and for the trawler to be raised as soon as possible. Etsuko Yamaguchi, deputy head of a student council, handed the petition of about 140 signatures to Robert Ludan (R), U.S. Consul General for Osaka and Kobe, who visited the school Feb. 17 to apologize for the accident. The Greeneville crashed into and sank the 499-ton Ehime Maru during a rapid-surfacing drill off Hawaii. Four students and two teachers at the school and three crew members of the ship are still missing.
