Six Missing After U.S.-Flagged Vessel Overturns Near Saipan in Typhoon Wake
A U.S.-flagged cargo ship, the Mariana, overturned off Saipan after engine trouble during Typhoon Sinlaku; six crew remain missing as Coast Guard and partner agencies expand a search across the Pacific, with debris including a partially inflated life raft found. The vessel reportedly lost its starboard engine as the storm approached, contact was lost Thursday, and the last known position was about 140 miles north-northwest of Saipan.
