　　It is one of South Korea's worst naval disasters.In 1974，a ship sank off the southeast coast in stormy weather，killing 159 sailors and coast guard personnel.

　　The weather conditions had improved from Saturday，but dozens of military divers quickly withdrew(撤退)due to rapid sea currents.Divers also unsuccessfully tried to get to the wreckage on Saturday.

　　As hopes faded for the missing crew，about 80 family members aboard a navy patrol boat sailed around the site and watched rescue operations.
