Survivors of Evans Still at Sea
The U S aircraft carrier Kearsarge with 198 Evans survivors battles heavy seas en route to Subic Bay as a two nation naval board of inquiry prepares to investigate the collision that sank the destroyer Evans during SEATO exercises. Admiral King and Cmdr McLemore are aboard the Kearsarge with the Evans skipper’s executive officer as the inquiry, led by Adm King, convenes in Singapore and Subic Bay awaits.
