This should be an interesting story.......wow!

No mention of this collision in either ships histories, it appears that Dunlap's rudder jammed whilst manoeuvring as plane guard, no images available at all regarding damage to Dunlap although given she was on operations 3 months later it would suggest minor damage only

What's the story here??? This has got to be good....... WOW, pretty dramatic but looks like a great job by this CG crew--Very Professional!!

USCGC Waesche (WMSL 751) arrived at Yokosuka, Japan after combating a shipboard engineering fire on Sept. 20, during a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 7th Fleet’s area of operations.

Black smoke was reported at 5:18 p.m. (local time) Sunday, and investigations revealed fires in the exhaust stack and nearby spaces.

After 90 minutes of firefighting, the fires were confirmed extinguished.

France:
Chanzy was an Amiral Charner-class armored cruiser built for the French Navy (Marine Navale) in the 1890s

On 1 February 1902 she began a long period of relative inactivity that lasted until she was formally placed in reserve when the new armored cruiser Marseillaise replaced her in the squadron in May 1904.

Chanzy was recommissioned on 15 September 1906 for service with the Far Eastern Squadron and departed on 15 November. She arrived at Saigon, French Indochina, on 10 January 1907 and visited Hong Kong and ports in China, and Japan in April and May. While departing from Shanghai on 20 May in thick fog, she ran aground on rocks off Ballard Island in the Chusan Islands. Her sister ship Bruix and the protected cruisers D'Entrecasteaux and Alger attempted to pull her off, but could not do so in the heavy seas. Her crew remained aboard attempting to get her off until they were evacuated without loss on 1 June when the ship began to founder and the wreck was demolished by the other cruisers on 12 June.

USN:
When the Suez Canal closed after the 1967 Mideast War the US Atlantic Fleet deployed pairs of DDs to the US Mideast Force. The ships, all Gearing class due to their extra fuel capacity, steamed on one boiler from CONUS WestLant to Recife, Brazil, then across the South Atlantic to Luanda, Angola. Then around the Cape of Good Hope to Lorenzo Marques, Mozambique. They did not stop in any South African port due to the apartheid policy of that nation. Turnover with the homeward bound ships was in Port Louis, Mauritius. They spent the next 4 to 5 months visiting the IO and Gulf countries. Due to the extreme heat and lack of air conditioning, the ships usually rigged awnings over the weather decks whenever possible (see photo). Fire hoses were used to wet and cool the canvas down and the salt bleached them pure white.

RN:
HMS Vengeance was an 84-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 27 July 1824 at Pembroke Dockyard. The Canopus-class ships were all modelled on a captured French ship, the Franklin, which was renamed HMS Canopus in British service. Some of the copies were faster than others, though it was reported that none could beat the original. HMS Vengeance was nicknamed 'the wind's-eye liner', and was faster than all the other ships except HMS Phaeton.
She became a receiving ship in 1861, and was eventually sold out of the navy in 1897.

At anchor are (l-r) the storeship HMS Diligence (1814), HMS Phoenix (1832), a converted screw Sloop, and the storeship HMS Talbot (1824), a converted Sixth Rate. The three ships arrived at Holsteinborg on 8 June at 1.45pm and departed for Godhavn [referred to as Lievely in Phoenix's log] at 9am on 17 June 1854, on their way northward to supply the 'Franklin' search ships under Captain Sir Edward Belcher in the Canadian archipelago.

France:
Light cruiser Marseillaise, scuttled at Toulon on 27 November 1942, being dismantled by an Italian company, 1943.

After the scuttling of the French fleet at Toulon on 27 November 1942, following the Axis occupation of the metropolitan French territories in reaction to Operation Torch, most of the ships, either still afloat or sunk, had been assigned to Italy after negotiations between the two Axis nations.
While a few light cruisers, destroyers, torpedo-boats and submarines were meant to be fully repaired to be taken in the Regia Marina's service, most of the ships, judged unrecoverable, were slated to be scrapped. The scrap metal obtained, sent to Italy despite the protests of the French authorities (that tried to delay or sabotage as much as possible such transports), turned out to be of much greater significance for the Italian war effort than the few recovered French units, none of which had a significant service under Italian flag.
