"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.

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.
