I know this is the wrong forum for this but I wanted to get max viewing...

My Uncle served on the Destroyer Escort USS Day, DE-225 during WWII (saw a lot of action in the Pacific). It was sunk as a target by the Navy in 1969 off the coast of California. Is there a website or any resource where I can find a picture of the ship being sunk? I would like to find it for him if it exists. Thanks for the help/advice...

No pictures of it getting blown up but, there is pics and information here: www.navsource.org

And check out: Haze Gray and Underway- DANFS

Thanks. I've seen those (and they are good). I'd really like to find info on it's destruction and pictures of it when it was mothballed for decades...

My Uncle's ship faired a little better. He served on the Treasury class cutter Duane WPG-33
from 1940-45 inclucing many N. Atlantic convoy escorts and the invasion of S. France.
The Duane served long and is now a artifical reef in the FL Keys and a very popular
diving attraction being only in 120' of water.
