Serving aboard a Destroyer Tender, we had occasion to work on/in/under the USS KING and the USS FRANK KNOX. Never knew before today who these ships were actually named after.
On one of my WESTPAC cruises, the FRANK KNOX ran aground on a sandbar. Created all sorts of havoc. Word going around at the time, the pumps were not shut down and the subsequent sand sucked in destroyed the pumps and related systems. The KNOX ended up in drydock, and again, scuttlebutt at the time said the skipper was relieved of duty and pretty much ended his naval career.
