FILE - In this Saturday, June 17, 2017, file photo, the damaged USS Fitzgerald is seen off Shimoda in Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo, after the U.S. Navy destroyer collided with a merchant ship in nearby waters earlier in the day, killing seven U.S. sailors. The site of a fatal collision between the two vessels off Japan’s coast is notorious for congested sea traffic, particularly during the night when merchant ships are trying to reach Tokyo’s port by daybreak. The USS Fitzgerald collided with the ACX Crystal about 12 nautical miles (14 miles, 22 kilometers) off the southern tip of Izu Peninsula in the early hours of Saturday just as two the ships were to merge into heavy traffic.
