According to The Navy Times a Putnam County sailor, Peter Mims of Interlachen, Florida who went missing from a warship last week in Japan's southern waters has been discovered hiding on board. It was originally assumed Mims, who was aboard the guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh, had fallen overboard last Thursday somewhere around 180 miles east of Okinawa, Japan.
The Navy times added that it was unclear how Mims survived a week in the engineering space, or why he was hiding. He will be transported to Shiloh for an evaluation.
