Pentagon officials have confirmed that one of the ten sailors missing after the collision of the USS John S. McCain is a 23-year-old man from Decatur. Searchers have found some remains Tuesday in the flooded sections of the ship that were damaged when it collided with a cargo ship Monday off the coast of Singapore.
Congressman Rodney Davis' office says among the missing is Third Class Petty Officer Logan Palmer, whose family lives in Decatur. Palmer had enlisted in the Navy in April, 2016, and worked as a communications electrician.
