Any other ships that have had as bad a run (in terms of names) as the Porter?
Nice find Oberon. |

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."

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.
