The U.S. Coast Guard says an overturned cargo ship found near the U.S. territory of Saipan after a typhoon is the same vessel that was reported missing with six people on board.
Crews are continuing search and rescue operations for the missing crew members. Officials say a partially inflated life raft was spotted nearby, about 95 nautical miles from the vessel.
An Air Force rescue crew confirmed the ship’s identity as the cargo vessel Mariana. Officials say divers on scene may deploy an underwater drone if they locate a viable entry point into the wreck.
