Summary edit
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Whipple (DD-217) alongside of USS Smith Thompson (DD-212) in the yard floating drydock USS Dewey (YFD-1) at Olongapo, Philippines, on 17 April 1936, three days after their collision at sea. On 14 April 1936, Smith Thompson, while en route from Manila to Shanghai, was rammed amidships by Whipple. There was no loss of life, but Smith Thompson was seriously damaged and had to be towed back to the Philippines by USS Barker (DD-213), arriving in Subic Bay on 17 April. Inspection showed the ship not worth repair, and Smith Thompson was decommissioned at Olongapo on 15 May, struck from the Navy list on 19 May, and sunk at sea off Subic Bay on 25 July 1936. Whipple, whose own bow had been bent around until it faced sternward, received Smith Thompson's undamaged bow and soon reentered active service. |
