"The HC-130 Hercules crew saw the vessel early in the day about 100 nautical miles northeast of the Mariana's last known position, but authorities could not confirm its identity."
"The Mariana suffered engine failure Wednesday as a massive typhoon bore down on Saipan, leading to a loss of communication with the Coast Guard."
"Typhoon Sinlaku triggered floods, tore off roofs, and overturned cars on Saipan, delaying responders' ability to assess damage and assist communities."
A search crew spotted an overturned ship resembling the missing cargo vessel Mariana, which had six people on board. The ship was located 100 nautical miles northeast of Mariana's last known position. The Mariana experienced engine failure during Typhoon Sinlaku and lost communication with the Coast Guard. The last known position was 140 miles north-northwest of Saipan. The Coast Guard and U.S. Navy are involved in the search, while Typhoon Sinlaku caused significant damage on Saipan, complicating rescue efforts.
