Vietnamese Navy Rescues 19 Indonesians From Cargo Ship VOA News 1 Feb 2002 13:21 UTC 
Vietnam's navy has rescued all 19 Indonesian crewmembers of a Singaporean-registered cargo ship that sank off Vietnam's central coast on Tuesday.
The Uni Raya Glory was carrying a shipment of timber from China to Singapore when it went down off Nha Trang beach, a popular recreation spot for American soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Vietnamese authorities have asked the ship's owner to salvage the vessel quickly to prevent the possible leaking of more than 100 tons of fuel.
