Sunk carrier USS Card refloated by tide in Saigon harbor
In Saigon harbor the World War II carrier USS Card sunk by an explosion was partially refloated by the incoming tide. Divers observed a gaping hole and could not confirm whether the blast was external or internal as U.S. investigators probe sabotage, a mechanical failure, or a Communist bomb. All 23 crew members escaped injury, pumps battled flooding in the engine room, and the ship remained afloat but partially submerged as tides shifted. The incident is a major prestige issue for U.S. support in Vietnam.
