| Description |
English: View of a collision of the U.S. Navy escort carriers USS Sangamon (CVE-26) and USS Suwannee (CVE-27) on 26 January 1944. Having completed fueling two destroyers, Sangamon resumed zigzagging and commenced a 40-degree turn to port. Suwannee, about 1700 meters off the Sangamon's port side, started a starboard turn to conducting flight operations. When the ships began to run on converging courses, both carriers tried to slow. As they alomost lost all speed, they scraped bow to bow and only superficial damage occured. |
