Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Collett (DD-730) in port, following her 19 July 1960 collision with USS Ammen (DD-527). Collett had just completed her FRAM II-modernization, when she collided with Ammen off Newport Beach, California (USA), killing 11 and injuring 20, all members of Ammen's crew. Despite a badly smashed bow, Collett made port under her own power, entering the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for extensive repairs. Her bow was removed and replaced with that of Seaman (DD-791), an incomplete destroyer in the Reserve Fleet. On 5 November 1960, Collett departed Long Beach again for coastal operations.
