25 marzo 1915 anni - The USS F-4 submarine sinks off Hawaii; 23 are killed.

Descrizione:

In 1915 the first underwater accident happened. March 25th a submarine exploded off the Honolulu harbor. It was found a mile away off of fort armstrong, 300 feet underwater. The other two submarines returned to the harbor shortly, but when the F-4 had not returned by 10.30 a. m. the officer of the deck of the tender Alert became alarmed and reported the fact to the commanding officer. When they pulled out the submarine it was 260 tons. So it took a while for them to get out and see if there were any survivors or anything. Four members of F-4’s crew were identified and their bodies were returned to their families. The remains of the other 17 men were sealed in four coffins that were interred together in Arlington National Cemetery under a single headstone that read “Seventeen Unknown US Sailors, Victims of USS F-4, March 25, 1915.”
