美国海军继续寻找失踪货轮

A U.S. Navy salvage team is preparing to launch a remotely operated submersible to confirm that wreckage discovered near the Bahamas is that of the cargo ship El Faro, lost in a hurricane last month.

The 790-foot El Faro vanished on October 1 with 33 crew members during Hurricane Joaquin.

Authorities said they aim to survey the wreckage and hope to locate a voyage data recorder — the ship\'s "black box" - that could yield clues as to what happened.

If human remains are encountered during the submersible operation, the Navy will attempt to recover them, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said.

El Faro\'s captain made a distress call before the vessel disappeared, saying the ship had lost engine power during its voyage from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

An extensive search by the U.S. Coast Guard found only floating debris and one body in a survival suit, which was not recovered.

长度为790英尺的灯塔号于10月1号遭遇“华金”飓风后失踪，船上有33名船员。

有关当局说，计划对海底残骸进行调查，希望能够发现航行数据记录器，从中发现失事船只的线索。

美国国家交通安全委员会发言人努德森说，如果在海底搜索行动中发现遗体，就将设法打捞。

灯塔号失踪前，船长戴维森曾发出求救信号，表示货轮在从佛罗里达州杰克森威尔驶往哥斯达黎加的圣胡安途中引擎发生故障。

美国海岸警卫队进行了大范围搜索，但只发现了一些漂浮的碎片和一具穿着救生衣的尸体，而且未能成功打捞。

自1983年以来，灯塔号失踪是美国发生的最严重海难。
