Saw a thing on military channel about the Destroyer USS Murphy which was cut in half by a friendly tanker while looking for a suspected U boat approaching the convoy, pretty wild.Even more so they salvaged the stern section, fitted her with a new bow section(ship was literally sliced in half amidships, just behind bridge) and she went back to war.The original bow section is still in the Atlantic and the show had divers going down to her.wild stuff...
