History

After the USS Hambleton was hit amidship by a torpedo, the destroyer managed to get to a port where Seabees cut her in two, removed a 40-foot damaged section and then welded the two halves together. Hambleton later sank the U-boat believed to have torpedoed her. #WarshipWednesday pic.twitter.com/tHgL2aoImb
