USN
The largest warship to ever transit the Great Lakes. The 8-inch gun Heavy Cruiser USS Macon came through the Seaway in 1959 to officially open the new waterway. She is seen here in the Eisenhower Lock. Note the missing radar antenna, removed in Boston to allow passage through the Seaway 's lift bridges due to her high air draft. The ship had all sorts of problems rubbing bottom and bumping into walls on her way through due to the large size, powerful engines, and the open ocean design of her hull.
USN:
Iowa class battleship USS New Jersey (BB-62) fires a 16 in gun salvo during bombardment operations against enemy targets in Korea, adjacent to the 38th parallel, on 10 November 1951
France:
Lead ship of her class, destroyer Bourrasque sinking on 30 May 1940 during Operation Dynamo. This photograph is taken from another French destroyer, Branlebas, which arrived to rescue survivors. Of the estimated 800 men on board, 600 were saved. Taking the long eastward Route Y, Bourrasque had come under German artillery fire from Nieuwport. In attempting evasive action, she went off course and sailed straight into a French minefield, detonating a mine and sinking rapidly thereafter. Tragically, the sinking was so rapid that there was insufficient time to deactivate her depth charges and the subsequent detonation of these killed many in the water.
