Wow, they’re all fortunate to be alive.
Thanks for the link.
“During the transit to Guam, Connecticut identified seven Sailors who would benefit from mental health treatment. During his interview, the IDC [Independent Duty Corpsmen] stated that number grew to approximately 50 Sailors.”
Must’ve been a very frightening experience, but the crews used to be screened for mental stability during damage control training, etc. That’s nearly half of the crew who broke down - that’s a very dangerous level of weakness.
I suspect many were removed from submarine duty. Of course they may have been pushed to the brink by living a year with bedbugs. That’s hard to believe that they couldn’t get rid of them for a whole year - that’s actual torture.
I couldn’t imagine a collision at that speed, I’m surprised more didn’t die.
Here’s a good link to the pictures of the damage:

Different boat.
I though you’d appreciate it more than some of the others.
