One of the freighters slipped anchor and crashed into our bow. We radioed the rest of our anchored squadron that it was heading there way. One got underway to move out of the way... and then ran aground or was blown aground by the winds. Took Navy salvage a few days to drag that LPH off the sand bar. What a friggen mess.
