USS Jacob Jones DD-61 Survivors Awaiting Rescue Off the Isles of Scilly
Painting, Oil on Canvas by F. Luis Mora.
On the evening of 6 December 1917, USS Jacob Jones (DD-61) was torpedoed by German U-53 off the Isles of Scilly, southwest of England, while on patrol. Efforts by the crew to save the ship failed and the commander ordered it abandoned. In an extraordinary humanitarian gesture, the commander of U-53 radioed the American base at Queenstown the location of the sinking ship. British ships came to the rescue overnight while thirty-eight survivors huddled together on boats and rafts. During the wait, Lieutenant (j.g.) Stanton F. Kalk swam from one raft to another in an attempt to equalize weight on them and preserve the lives of his men. In helping save them, Kalk over-taxed his own strength and finally died of exposure and exhaustion. For his heroism, Lt. (j.g.) Kalk was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

On May 15, 1981 Nimitz departed Norfolk for the final phases of her workup schedule for an upcoming Med Cruise. On the night of May 25 and EA-6B Prowler attempting to land struck a helicopter, then hit another aircraft and a tow tractor. A fuel fire erupted and, although fire-fighting systems reacted quickly, four missile warheads detonated. Fourteen crewmen were killed and 45 injured, three aircraft destroyed and nine damaged. The ship is seen returning to port, May 28, for repairs. She returned to sea less than 48 hours later to complete her training schedule.
