Shadow ships shadow America in Mediterranean pursuit
A Soviet Kashin class destroyer No. 381 shadowed the carrier America and its task group in the Mediterranean at dusk, following closely and then staying within four miles. Earlier, destroyer No. 215 had shadowed the group, signaling good mornings as formalities. Officers viewed the encounters as modest provocations while planning to ignore the intrusions amid Middle East tensions. A separate obituary notes the death of Geneva Mae Endries in St. Louis after a five day illness, leaving a husband, children, siblings, and a large family.
