“Half a century ago, the “willie Dee,” as the William D. Porter was nicknamed, accidentally fired a live torpedo at the battleship IOWA during a practice exercise on November 14, 1943. As if this weren’t bad enough, the IOWA was carrying President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary of State Cordell Hull and all of the country’s World War II military brass to the “big three” conferences in Cairo and Teheran.”

The world would have been much better had FDR sank to hell a bit earlier.
