Hopes of miracles are ebbing for the family and friends of the 10 missing U.S. sailors.

Megan Partlow of Ohio tells AP in a Facebook message that her fiancee, a sailor on the USS John S. McCain, was last in contact with her on Sunday.

"My last text to him was 'be safe', which is the same way we end every conversation. I'm just ready for answers."

The identities of the missing have not been disclosed but Partlow said her fiancee's parents were in touch with the Navy's family assistance center.

On the 7th Fleet's Facebook page, Partlow earlier posted "Prayers to all the other families as we patiently wait for answers."

"I am slowly losing hope and it hurts to know I might never get to walk down the aisle to see the love of my life."

China, Washington's main rival for influence in the Asia-Pacific, seized on the USS John S. McCain collision to accuse the U.S. Navy of endangering maritime navigation in the region.

Four recent accidents show the U.S. Navy "is becoming a dangerous obstacle in Asian waters," the official China Daily newspaper said in its online edition.

"The US Navy, which likes to claim its presence can help safeguard 'freedom of navigation' in the South China Sea, is proving to be an increasing hindrance to ships sailing in Asian waters," the paper said in an unsigned editorial.

"Anyone should be able to tell who is to blame for militarizing the waters and posing a threat to navigation," the paper said.

The U.S. 7th Fleet says Navy and Marine Corps. divers have joined the search for 10 missing sailors and will access flooded compartments on the USS John S. McCain, which is docked at Singapore's Changi Naval Base.

It says the sea-based search by aircraft and ships from the U.S., Singapore and Malaysian navies will continue east of Singapore where the McCain and an oil tanker collided at daybreak Monday.

"Equipped with surface supplied air rigs, divers will access sealed compartments located in damaged parts of the ship," the 7th Fleet's statement says. "Additionally, they will conduct damage assessments of the hull and flooded areas."
