WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was unaware of any effort to move the USS John S McCain that was stationed near the site of his recent speech in Japan.

The newspaper said a tarp was hung over the ship’s name ahead of Trump's trip and sailors were directed to remove coverings from the destroyer that bore its name. The paper also said sailors assigned to the ship, who generally wear caps bearing its name, were given the day off during Trump's visit to the nearby USS Wasp.
