Om Tragedy at Honda

Known to seafarers as 'The Devil's Jaw,' Point Honda has lured ships to its jagged rocks on the coast of California for centuries, but its worst calamity occurred on 8 September, 1923, the night nine U.S. Navy destroyers ran into Honda's fog-wrapped reefs. Admiral turned author Charles Lockwood (Sink 'Em All, Hellcats of the Sea) brilliantly recreates events as they happened, including the heroic efforts to rescue the men and ships. In his view, the cause of the tragedy lay in the interpretation of the differences that exist between the classic concepts of naval regulations and the stark realism of the unwritten code of destroyer doctrine to follow the leader.
