Default Rogue waves..

My Dad and his XO often told the story of a rogue that hit their DE
while on North Atlantic Convoy duty just prior to WWII. They often
laughed about being underwater for about two minutes before the DE
popped back up to the surface.

It was their favorite story while fishing - I never tired of hearing
it. :)


Having had two tours on DEs during my Navy experience, I can appreciate the
story without even hearing it.


What ships did you serve on?

My dad commanded the USS Camp DE 251 in the late around 69 to 71.
