| ATHENS (Reuters) - Hopes of finding five missing crew of a Turkish-operated cargo ship that sank after colliding with a Greek tanker in the Aegean Sea, were fading on Friday after fruitless night-long rescue efforts, officials said. The Morocco-bound, Panamanian registered "Han" cargo ship, which was operated by a Turkish ship owner and had a crew of 13, collided on Thursday with a Greek tanker off the island of Hydra, killing one Turkish sailor. Authorities said it appeared that the collision was an accident. The tanker safely plucked seven Turkish crew from the sea as well as the body of the Turkish sailor. These guys keep running into each other |

| #1 Last week when a Greek and Turkish warplanes collided the response of the Greeks was to ban flights by the US Navy. Therefore, will this collision result in the banning of US Navy ships anywhere near Greece? |
