They were relieved by the USS Hobson DMS-26 and USS Rodman DMS-21. Destroyer, Carrier Crash During Night Practice; 176 Feared Dead Hobson Goes Down In Atlantic; Wasp Hurt, Sailing Home Only 61 Saved From Smaller Ship In Foul Weather Off The Azores; None On Carrier Lost; Craft Collide As Wasp Turns to Receive Planes. Washington, April 27, 1952 (AP) - The USS Hobson, a destroyer - minesweeper, collided with the famous carrier Wasp last night, and plunged to the bottom in mid-Atlantic. The Navy said that 176 men were reported missing, including the craft's skipper. Sixty-one men were snatched to safety out of a windy, rolling sea. In Charleston, S.C., Rear Admiral William V. O'Regan, minesweeper commander at the home base of the Hobson, said there had been 237 men aboard the ship. USS Hobson DD-464/DMS-26 Seven Officers Lost In Washington, the Bureau of Naval Personnel casualty section said it was preparing "reported missing" tel- egrams for families of 176 men, including seven officers and 169 enlisted personnel. The captain of the Hobson was 31- year old Lieut. Comdr. William J. Tierney of Philadelphia. He had risen from the ranks and won his commission in 1941. Full details of the accident were not immediately given by Naval authorities. Earlier in the afternoon Navy headquarters said rescue operations were still on going. That was nearly a full day after the mid-ocean smashup in the wind-lashed darkness. The Wasp's bow was damaged in the colli- sion. The accident was one of the great noncombat disasters the Navy has suffered in recent times. Weather is Bad Hobson rescue efforts were hampered by the dark, and by foul weather. A navy dispatch reported that at 2:00 a.m. (EST) winds were "15 knots southwest, sea rough and confused." That weather report came near- ly 5 hours after the crash. The Wasp suffer a slashing rip for 75 feet along her bow plates, the Navy report- ed. She was headed for New York at reduced speed ten knots. There were no casualties reported aboard the big carrier. Fleet headquarters spotted the scene of the collision as 1,200 miles due east of Boston and 700 miles from the Azores. The time of the crash was given as 1:25 a.m. Sunday, Greenwich Time, which would be 8:25 p.m. Saturday, EST. The spot being well west of the Azores, the theoretic time at the scene was be- fore midnight. The Wasp was on the way to take up a station in the Mediterranean when she collided with the Hobson at latitude 42 degrees 21 minutes north, longitude 44 degrees 15 minutes west. Two Ships In Rear It was announced that the collision occurred when the Wasp Saigon turned into the wind to recover aircraft which were returning from a simulated night strike against other ships in the task group, enroute route to the Mediterranean. The Hobson and another destroyer minesweeper, the Rodman, were trailing the Wasp in plane guard stations - meaning they were a little to the rear in position to pick up men in the event any of the planes were ditched in attempting to land. The skipper of the Wasp is Capt. B. C. McCaffree and the Commanding the Hobson was Lieut. Comdr. W. J. Tierney .

Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • The Hobson Incident

    The Hobson Incident

    The Hobson Incident Late on Saturday night, April 26, 1952, U.S.S. Wasp was completing night maneuvers some 1,200 miles east of New York. She turned into the wind to recover her aircraft. The skipper of the USS Hobson, a destroyer-minesweeper, apparently became confused in the dark and made a few turns that ended with the Hobson cutting in front of Wasp. The Wasp cut the Hobson in two. From there, it rapidly got worse. The Hobson was hit aft of midship, and the entire ship sank in four minutes. Her captain and 174 other men were lost. In rolling over, Hobson’s keel sliced off an 80-ton section of Wasp’s bow, from keel to about waterline, the section being carried away, with interior deck levels, oil tanks, fittings, and gears. Those men from the Hobson who were fortunate enough to be thrown clear and rescued were covered with oil from Wasp’s broken tanks. Fortunately, there were no crew quarters located in Wasp’s bow, and Wasp, in fact, suffered no casualties in the affair. Wasp had been under orders to relieve the carrier Tarawa farther east. Her bulkheads holding against the open bow, she turned for repairs at New York. Proceeding at a ten-knot speed, often reduced to near zero when heavy going forced her to proceed stern-first, she almost lost her two anchor chains ($40,000 each). Wasp, drydock-free by May 19, then ammunitioned and service fitted, was back on sea duty in less than five weeks, a record for major ship repairs.
  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents

    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents

    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

Henry Clinton Henry Clinton’s father, George, was the royal governor of Newfoundland at the time of his birth. He was made the royal governor of New York in 1743, and Henry spent eight years in that colony before moving to England and taking a military commission in the Coldstream Guards in 1751. By 1758, Henry Clinton had earned the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Grenadier Guards. He continued to distinguish himself as a soldier during the Seven Years’ War and, in 1772, achieved two significant feats for a man born in the colonies–the rank of major general in the British army and a seat in Parliament. Clinton’s part in the War of American Independence began auspiciously. He arrived with Major General William Howe and, after the draw at Bunker Hill, served in the successful capture of New York City and the Battle of Long Island, which earned him the rank of lieutenant general and membership in the Most Honourable Order of Bath as a KCB, or Knight Commander of the British Empire, which conferred to him the title of Sir. After Howe performed poorly at Saratoga and was demoted, Clinton was promoted to commander in chief of Britain’s North American forces in 1778.
