The destroyer U.S.S. Frank E. Evans was sliced in two after a collision with Australian aircraft carrier H.M.S. Melbourne in the South China Sea on June 3, 1969. The two ships had been operating together between Saigon, Vietnam and Sparity Island, when the Evans made an incorrect move and cut across the Melbourne's bow, which led to the collision. The bow section of the Evans sank instantly along with 74 of her crew. The stern section was towed to a safe harbor and a few months later was used for target practice and sunk in Subic Bay.
