About 160 sailors were aboard the ship at the time of the fire and the entire crew was able to disembark; each sailor was later accounted for
The warrant identifies the suspect only as a Seaman Apprentice Sailor E2 with the last name Mays. NCIS documents also included a picture of the sailor taken from one of his social media accounts.
