Summary[edit]

Description The U.S. Navy seaplane tender USS Casco (AVP-12) beached in Nazan Bay, Atka island, Alaska (USA), on 30 August 1942. While lying at anchor in Nazan Bay on 30 August 1942, Casco was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine RO-61. The resulting explosion killed five of her men and wounded 20, but prompt and clearheaded action brought flooding to a halt and got the ship underway so that she could be beached and later salvaged. Casco was refloated on 12 September 1942, and, after emergency repairs at Dutch Harbor and Kodiak, she received a thorough overhaul at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Washington (USA). Casco returned to duty in the Aleutian Islands in March 1943.
