Description
Seven destroyers at the Honda Point disaster September 8, 1923
In the foreground is USS Delphy (DD-261), which has broken in half, with her forward section capsized to port. At left, behind the rocks, is the stern of USS Chauncey (DD-296). USS Young (DD-312) is capsized to starboard, astern of Chauncey. In the distance is USS Woodbury (DD-309), heeled to port with her bow near a small rock island, with USS Fuller (DD-297) beyond her. This was the largest peacetime loss of Navy ships.
