Comments: US Navy 7th Fleet San Diego 1957-1959. In August, 1957 at approximately 0350 the Wantuck was involved in a collission with The Lenawee. I was on watch in the fireroom of the Lenawee. I was first person aboard Wantuck in a rescue party.At least 6 men were killed in this collission. The Wantuck was severed almost in half. She was secured and was towed back to Home port. I never saw her after that day.
