USS Smith Thompson (DD-212)
Ship's stern disappears beneath the surface as she is scuttled
off Subic Bay, Philippines, on 25 July 1936.
Smith Thompson had been badly damaged amidships in a collision
with USS Whipple (DD-217) on 14 April 1936. She was scuttled
after her bow had been removed for use in repairing Whipple.
