Right. The Emmons was scuttled off Kouri Island on April 7, not 6. I will change the date.

The Emmons was sunk on April 7, not April 6. The USS Ellyson sunk her after it was decided she could not be saved. The Emmons was drifting towards Motobu Peninsula which was still enemy held territory. They sunk her to prevent her from falling into enemy hands.
