| Description | On 20 March 1945, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Halsey Powell (DD-686) was alongside the aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) when Japanese aircraft attacked. As the destroyer was getting clear, an aircraft overshot the carrier and crashed on Halsey Powell. Her steering gear jammed, but alert action with the engines averted a collision. Fires were put out, and although 9 were killed and over 30 wounded in the attack the ship reached Ulithi on 25 March. Halsey Powell arrived at San Pedro, California (USA), for battle repairs on 8 May, and sailed again for Pearl Harbor on 19 July 1945. |
