Talk:USS Frank Knox

Untitled
My Physics teacher in high school in 1979 served in the US Navy in the 1960's and told us the story of the Knox running aground.

Apparently the weather was squally and the radar operator picked up the signal of the reef and interpreted it as a tsunami (tidal wave). Navy SOP at the time was to head directly into a tsunami and attempt to ride over it, needless to say this was not the right thing to do for a reef ! My teacher took great delight and telling us that forever afterwards the Knox was known in Navy circles as the "Knox on the Rocks". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.117.9 (talk) 00:38, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
