Lost at sea six early US Navy ships never heard from
The article recalls six ships lost without trace in early US naval history. Saratoga and Insurgent vanish after bold actions, Pickering sinks in a Guadaloupe storm, gunboat No.7 disappears in Mediterranean service, Wasp vanishes after brilliant early victories, and the brig Hérvier vanishes after treaty work near Algiers. It contrasts ancient losses with modern naval safety and notes Britain and France also tally many such unmapped disappearances.
