The ship, which has 330 U.S. troops aboard, recovered two bodies around 3 p.m. Thursday, and more since, officials said. It was running 24-hour search operations using two MH-60R search-and-rescue helicopters, radar, sonar and binoculars.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters released a few photographs of one of the helicopters as it delivered remains to the Indonesian government, which asked for U.S. help. They were returned to an airport in Pangkalan Bun in Central Kalimantan, which is just north of the Java Sea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.navy.mil\/submit\/display.asp?story_id=85063\">Navy<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sampson will remain on station as long as the Indonesian government feels they are providing useful assistance,&#8221; said Capt. Christopher Budde, operations director for U.S. 7th Fleet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Indonesian government and Indonesian Rescue Coordination Center have done an outstanding job in very quickly organizing this multi-national search effort,&#8221; said Budde. &#8220;We are preparing additional equipment and assets in case the Indonesian government requests them, but they are doing a tremendous job and additional U.S. Navy assistance may be more than they require.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Authorities in the region continue to lead the search and recovery effort. The U.S. Navy is working closely with the government of Indonesia to identify additional surface or airborne capabilities to best assist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that the US Navy is involved in grim job of recovering the &hellip; <a title=\"That Global Force for Good\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=57448\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">That Global Force for Good<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
