US military vessels have been involved in a number of accidents in recent months in East Asia.
The US Navy lost 10 personnel in August, when the USS John McCain collided with a tanker near Singapore.
Two months earlier, in June, the USS Fitzgerald smashed into a cargo ship off the coast of Japan, killing seven.
In two other non-fatal incidents, the USS Antietam ran aground near its base in Japan in January, and in May USS Lake Champlain collided with a South Korean fishing vessel.
