Beskrivelse

Beskrivelse
English: The seven wrecked destroyers on Honda point. The lost ships were:
  • USS Delphy (DD-261) was the flagship in the column. She ran aground on the shore at 20 knots (37 km/h). After running aground, she sounded her siren. The siren alerted some of the later ships in the column, helping them avoid the tragedy. Three men died. Eugene Dooman, a State Department expert on Japan, who survived, was aboard as a guest of Captain Watson, whom he had met in Japan.
  • USS S. P. Lee (DD-310) was following a few hundred yards behind. She saw the Delphy suddenly stop, and turned to port (left) in response. As a result, she ran aground on the coast.
  • USS Young (DD-312) made no move to turn. She tore her hull open on submerged rocks, and the inrush of water capsized her onto her starboard side. Twenty men died.
  • USS Woodbury (DD-309) turned to starboard, but struck an offshore rock.
  • USS Nicholas (DD-311) turned to port and also hit a rock.
  • USS Fuller (DD-297) stuck next to the Woodbury.
  • USS Chauncey (DD-296) made an attempt to rescue sailors from the capsized Young. She ran aground.
