USS William D. Porter

As ships go...not a particularly lucky one... http://www.cracked.com/article_19637...same-ship.html |
Any other ships that have had as bad a run (in terms of names) as the Porter?
Nice find Oberon. |
sounds like a ship full of Bernards
|
In the article it says the whole crew was arrested. What happened to them? Were they court martialled?

"The IOWA began evasive maneuvers, yet trained all guns on the William D. Porter. There was now some thought that the W.D. Porter was part of an assassination plot."
That's a lot of guns. :o |

Seems to me that HMAS Melbourne wasn't unlucky - the destroyers assigned to guard her were! In each of those cases it looks like the escorts were clearly at fault based on the rules of manuevering at sea.

Worse ship in US Navy WW2
Just read this.....Captain and entire crew placed under arrest for being the stupidest ship in history. This should be a movie....
Make sure to check the 2nd page, so funny. Ship was exiled to Alaska and a drunk sailor decided to shoot the guns and blew up the flower garden in the front yard of....wait for it.....the base commanders house..lmao. http://www.cracked.com/article_19637...same-ship.html |
I know it's been a couple of years, but...

Yea, pretty bad when the Iowa with FDR got so concerned over the dumb actions that the guns were aimed at it.
Still, minus the many unseemly events, it did serve bravely most the time. |
