Stern of US WW II destroyer discovered near remote Alaskan island: Survivor recounts harrowing day
By James Rogers | Fox News
World War II-era destroyer's stern found off Alaskan island
Researchers found the missing 75-foot stern section of the destroyer USS Abner Read just off the coast of Kiska, Alaska. 71 sailors lost their lives when the ship hit a Japanese mine in 1943.
In 1943, Daryl Weathers was a 19-year-old seaman aboard the destroyer USS Abner Read, which was conducting an anti-submarine patrol in the remote Aleutian Islands.
Almost 75 years to the day since the ship’s stern was torn off by a Japanese mine, the 94-year-old describes the harrowing event and the ship’s survival.
“I had been in the Navy just a short while,” he told Fox News, recounting the predawn hours of Aug. 18. 1943. “We were on submarine patrol. We were making a figure 8 pattern, we had been doing that for a day and a half.”
Suddenly, the ship turned and struck a mine. “Bam! This hit the port quarter, picked up the ship and broke the stern off,” he said, adding that the stern contained sleeping compartments. “The guys were sleeping back there, we lost a lot.”
