Evans Officer Pleased With Mild Sentence
Lt. Ronald C. Ramsey described the reprimand and seniority reduction he received for the crash between the destroyer Frank E. Evans and the Australian carrier Melbourne as very fake. Ramsey pleaded guilty to dereliction of duty and negligence, saying the one day court martial and mild sentence were fair and he would like to return to sea. Navy sources indicated Ramsey’s plea could lead to dropping charges against Cmdr. Albert McLemore, the Evans captain, who was asleep when the ship changed course and was cut in two, killing 74 sailors.
