[Briggs:] The Navy has now officially removed the commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet after the guided missile destroyer, U.S.S. John S. McCain, collided with a commercial tanker Monday off the coast of Singapore. CNN's Matt Rivers live for us in Singapore with the latest details. Good morning to you, Matt.
[Matt Rivers, Cnn Correspondent:] Good morning. Yes, that's the latest news after this deadly accident that took place early Monday morning. The commander of the 7th Fleet, his name is Vice Admiral Joe Aucoin, was relieved of his command by his boss, the commander of the entire Pacific Fleet, Admiral Scott Swift, with Admiral Swift saying that he no longer had confidence in Aucoin's ability to command his troops. It's really the first domino to fall after what has been a very difficult year for the 7th Fleet. There have been four different incidents involving U.S. Navy warships deployed to this part of the world. Three of those incidents have involved ships from the 7th Fleet, including these last two incidents, both of which are deadly incidents. So they're clearly looking in the Navy at a leadership problem here. But they're also going to look at a broader comprehensive review that's going to be undertaken over the next several days, fleet-wide, across the entire Navy, command by command. They're going to each command in a different way, stand down operationally for one day at a time, to really take a deep dive, a deep look at what's going on here. Are there systemic safety issues that need to be addressed? Clearly there is problems that need to be addressed and the Navy is doing so. But a immediate priority here in Singapore, there remains missing sailors. We know that remains have been found of some of the missing sailors aboard the U.S.S. John McCain, inside damaged portions of the hull. But those search efforts continue today to see if there's any hope of finding any survivors.
[Briggs:] Yes, those 10 families certainly want answers. Matt Rivers live for us; 5:30 pm there in Singapore, thank you, Matt. EARLY START continues right now with the latest from a fiery Phoenix rally.
