The U.S. Coast Guard is searching off Guam for six crew members missing after a cargo ship was disabled by Typhoon Sinlaku. The 145-foot dry cargo ship Mariana lost its starboard engine during the storm, leaving six people unaccounted for. Crew members contacted the Coast Guard on April 15, and communications were lost the afternoon of April 16. An HC-130 Hercules aircraft launched from Guam but returned because heavy winds grounded search efforts, with searches set to resume at first light.
