MAKASSAR, Indonesia (Reuters) - A U.S. navy ship helping hunt for an Indonesian plane missing for nine days should be able to shed light on whether metal objects found on the sea bed is wreckage, an Indonesian navy commander said on Wednesday. 

The search for an Adam Air Boeing 737-400 that vanished in bad weather on Jan. 1 with 102 people aboard has chiefly focused on large metal objects detected on Monday by Indonesian ships using sonar in deep water north of Mamuju in west Sulawesi.
