USN:
Aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) is launched at New York Navy Yard, 29 April 1944
Kamikaze aircraft diving on light cruiser USS Columbia on 6 January 1945
On 1 January 1945, Columbia sailed for the landings in Lingayen Gulf and on 6 January, as pre-invasion bombardments were getting underway, Japanese kamikaze attacks began. Columbia suffered a near miss by a kamikaze and was then struck on her port quarter by a second. The plane and its bomb penetrated two decks before exploding, killing 13 (including 3 survivors of the USS Ommaney Bay (CVE-79) who had been rescued two days earlier after their ship was sunk following a kamikaze attack) and wounding 44 men, putting her aft turrets out of action, and setting the ship afire. Prompt flooding of two magazines prevented further explosions, and impressive damage control measures enabled Columbia to complete her bombardment with her two operative forward turrets, and remain in action to give close support to underwater demolition teams. Ammunition was removed from the after magazines to refill the forward magazines; much of this was done by hand. On the morning of the landings, 9 January, as Columbia lay close inshore and so surrounded by landing craft that she was handicapped in manoeuvre, she was again struck by a kamikaze, knocking out six gun directors and a gun mount. 24 men were killed and 97 wounded, but short-handed as she was, Columbia again put out fires, repaired damage, and continued her bombardment and fire support. Columbia sailed that night, guarding a group of unloaded transports. Her crew's accomplishments in saving their ship and carrying out their mission without interruption were recognized with the Navy Unit Commendation for this operation.

USN:
Battleship USS Delaware (BB-28) Running trials, circa late 1909
USS H-3 grounded at Samoa Beach. A bridle of towing tackle is rigged to the submarine for her attempt rescue by the cruiser USS Milwaukee that ended in failure. circa January 1917.
Locals told the Navy to use logs to roll the sub across the peninsula to the bay rather than try to tow it back out against the surf. Navy didn’t listen and got the Milwaukee beached too. In the end, H-3 was rolled across the peninsula on logs to the bay, recovered and put back into service. The Milwaukee was never recovered, broke up during a storm in 1918 and subsequently scrapped in place.

Japan/USN:
After seven war patrols and five battle stars in the Pacific War, Gato class submarine USS Mingo (SS-261) becomes the first submarine operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force as JS Kuroshio (SS-501).
She served on loan to the JMSDF from 1955 to 1966, then was transferred back to the US Navy. In 1971 she was sold back to the Japanese, who finally sunk her as a target in 1973
