epa05005568 A handout picture made available by the US Navy on 01 November 2015 shows United States Naval Ship (USNS) Apache (T-ATF 172) sailing to search for the missing US flagged merchant vessel El Faro, at sea in the Atlantic Ocean, 21 October 2015. The ship is equipped with several pieces of underwater search equipment, including a voyage data recorder locator, side-scan sonar and an underwater remote operated vehicle. A search team found what it said was the wreck of a cargo ship that sank in last month's Hurricane Joaquin with the loss of 33 crew members, a US official said on 31 October 2015. 'The vessel was located at a depth of about 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) in the vicinity of its last known position,' the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said. A search vessel detected the wreck using sonar on 31 October, and would deploy a remotely operated sub to confirm its identity as early as 01 November, it said. The 224-metre-long El Faro was bound for San Juan, Puerto Rico with a crew of 28 US citizens and five Poles, when last heard from 01 October near the Bahamas, as Joaquin was gaining strength over the archipelago. A full search with up to five planes, a helicopter, three cutters and three tugboats, as well as US Navy and Air Force resources, failed to find the boat after it lost communications.
