Summary
[edit]DescriptionRudder of USS Higbee (DD-806) in drydock 1972.jpg | The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Higbee (DD-806) under repair in Floating Drydock AFDM-6 at the Ship Repair Facility at Subic Bay, Philippines, circa in May 1972. On 19 April 1972, Higbee became the first U.S. warship to be bombed during the Vietnam War, when two North Vietnamese Air Force Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17s from the 923rd Fighter Regiment attacked, one of which, piloted by Le Xuan Di, dropped a 250 kilogram bomb onto Higbee's rear 127 mm gun mount, destroying it. The 127 mm gun crew had been outside their turret, due to a misfire within the mount, when the air attack occurred, which resulted in the wounding of four U.S. sailors. |
