US OFFICIALS PRESSED OVER SUB CRASH

ANGUISHED relatives of the nine Japanese missing after a surfacing US submarine sank their trawler off Hawaii have asked US officials to raise the wreck which could now be the tomb of their loved ones. The nuclear-powered submarine USS Greeneville shot out of the depths directly underneath the 499-ton Ehime Maru late last week. Of the 35 people on board the Japanese vessel, 26 were rescued. Four of the missing are 17-year-olds who were on the ship as part of commercial fisheries training. – Reuters
