| Description | The damaged U.S. Navy destroyer USS Bordelon (DD-881) is refueled by the replenishment oiler USS Kalamazoo (AOR-6) in the Atlantic Ocean, on 3 October 1976. On 14 September, Bordelon collided with the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) during a replenishment. Bordelons port bow and some of the superstructure were damaged and the main mast snapped and fell on the signal shack, injuring some of the handling team. Due to the damage to the superstructure and electronics and the age and condition of the hull, Bordelon was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 February 1977, transferred to Iran in July 1977, and cannibalized for spare parts. |
