Isn't a aircraft carrier more vulnerable when in rough seas ? Since it can't launch any of its airplanes, i think it is ..

I was a radiomen on the USS Meredith and was on watch the night the Evans was cut in half. We left for search and rescue immediately from the gun lines of nam. Later in Subic Bay, Phillipines I saw the aft section of the Evans. Quite the sight to see as we were the same class destroyer as her.

I was on the USS Kearsage that retrieve the survivors of the Frank E Evans. I was a hospital Corpsman. They towed half of the Evens to the Phillipines for investigation. Igot outright between the twin stacks. Looked like a clean cut with a meat cleaver. 77 men died. We were doing a multi country exercise at the time and it was at night time. The Evens was our escort destroyer and cut in front of the Melbourne and got cut in half. very nasty accident. I was busy working on the suvivors

@rightfredsdead let just say the ship was named the USS gaylord, first u said it was a destroy but then u said it was a medium cruiser which i never head of, im pretty sure its just light or heavy cruiser

You havent lived until you have been in the Bearing Sea on a destroyer in January. We had to stuff clothes under one side of our mattress to keep from being thrown out of bed at night those rails and safety straps did nothing. We spent almost a month up there chasing Russian Subs coming into the Pacific before handing them off to another ship to track. Somedays we had 30ft waves but mostly typical 20-25 footers. Wouldnt trade that experience for anything.

That's the USS Hornet CV-12 and the USS Frank E. Evans DD-754. The USS Frank E. Evans was later cut in half and sank after being in a collision with the Australian aircraft carrier Melbourne in 1969.
