The USS Gurnard hit a mountain in 89 while I was on the Mckee. I could have gone over to take a look at it when it was in drydock in the San Onofre but I didn't. I know someone who was on it when it hit. If I ever get around to doing another cross country road trip, I'm going to try to hook up with my shipmates from back then and maybe I can get him to tell me about it.
It was probably the scariest part of his career.
this is a 637 class but I don't know if its the Gurnard
