Search ends for missing crew of U.S. ship that overturned in typhoon

The search for five missing crew members of the U.S.-flagged cargo ship, the Mariana, has been suspended after the vessel overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during a typhoon. The ship, which had six people aboard, lost its starboard engines amid Super Typhoon Sinlaku’s powerful winds and was last in contact with the Coast Guard before capsizing. Despite extensive search efforts covering an area larger than California, only one crew member’s body was recovered. The Coast Guard, along with the U.S. Air Force, utilized divers and underwater drones in their search, but ultimately, the mission was called off after more than 100 hours. The typhoon, with winds reaching 150 miles per hour, caused significant damage to the region. The incident highlights the dangers faced by maritime workers during severe weather conditions. QUESTION: How might advancements in technology improve the safety and rescue operations for ships caught in severe weather conditions like typhoons?
