HONOLULU -- Navy divers searching the Ehime Maru recovered a fifth and sixth body Friday while the medical examiner identified two others.
Toshiya Sakashima, 17, was identified as well as crewmember Toshimichi Furuya.
The fifth body will be brought to the surface following Friday's dive.
A secondary mission is to capture fuel that has been leaking from the Ehime Maru. Absorbent pads continue to soak up oil while divers plug leaking holes in the ship.
The expected timeframe given for the search and recovery is 33 days.
