#OTD in 1945, over 100 feet of USS Pittsburgh's bow was snapped off by a typhoon near Okinawa. The heavy cruiser managed to make it to Guam where she was referred to as the "Longest Ship in the World" because the distance from bow to stern was thousands of miles. The bow was salvaged and nicknamed "USS McKeesport" after a suburb of Pittsburgh. USS Pittsburgh was given a new bow and served another 11 years.
