It's probably the French Aircraft Carrier Charles de Gaulle

We used to have one. "HMAS Melbourne" back in the 70's it cut an American frigate in half causing 70 US K.I.A, around that number i think, but yeah, dont quote me.
But that old thing is long gone.

That was a collision in 1969 with the USS Frank P Evans. 74 were killed.

HMAS Melbourne also collided with HMAS Voyager in 1964, splitting the frigate in half, killing 82.

Neither accident was the cause of the HMAS Melbourne, but how unlucky can a ship get?

[ShotOver]

Yeah, not a lucky ship.
156 souls isnt good to carry around.

[Mark Sman]

Wow.

Melbourne-Evans collision June 3, 1969.

Like nuclear weapons, Israel won't admit that it does or doesn't have a carrier. But the following story may be an indication. :)


Rough landing
In the summer of 1958, Lt.-Col. Uri Yarom was testing out an S-58 Sikorsky helicopter. Father of the first Israeli helicopter squadron, Yarom took the new aircraft over the Mediterranean sea.

One thing led to another and Yarom soon found himself running out of gas. Not wanting to lose the new helicopter with a sea landing, he scanned the horizons for someplace to set down. Suddenly he saw it, the flight deck of the USS Wasp CVS-18.

Down below was the huge American aircraft carrier, known among its crew as the "Mighty Stinger." President Dwight D. Eisenhower had dispatched the World War II-era vessel to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean as Marines landed in Beirut to prop up that country's independence during a civil war.

But all this didn't matter to Yarom. He needed a place to land, quickly. And with pure Israeli hutzpa he did so, setting down on the USS Wasp's flight deck. He jumped out as startled, angry and curious naval officers and crew surrounded him.

The captain demanded to know just what he was thinking landing on an American aircraft carrier?!

"Oh, I am sorry," Yarom told him. "I thought it was one of ours."
