Summary
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy auxiliary USS Ocelot (IX-110) aground in Buckner Bay (Nakagusuku Bay), Okinawa, with her stern severed by the battle damage repair ship USS Nestor (ARB-6), after Typhoon Louise hit that port on 9 October 1945. Nestor's bow is in the center of this photo. After a desperate struggle to save their ship while not colliding with others, the crew of Nestor took refuge in USS APL-14, visible beyond her, against which her stern had been crushed. All three of these ships were stricken from the Navy List in January 1946 and sold in 1947-48. |
