Navy and Coast Guard still hunting for sailor

NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy and Coast Guard continued to search by air and sea Monday for a sailor missing from a ship returning from the war in Iraq, just days after another sailor fell overboard from the same ship and was presumed lost at sea.

Petty Officer 1st Class Shaun Dale failed to appear at a roll call 10 a.m. Sunday aboard the USS Nassau and a search of the 833-foot amphibious assault ship and the Atlantic waters began.

On Friday, Petty Officer 3rd Class Dwayne Williams, 23, of Philadelphia, tripped and fell from the Nassau while chasing a football about 900 miles off the Virginia coast, officials said. The Navy ended its search Sunday without finding Williams' body.
