Found at Kure after the surrender

Four-stacker, damaged at Badung Strait. She fell off the blocks in a floating dock at Surabaya and was scuttled there. The Japanese raised her as a patrol boat; at the end of the war she was found at Kure, still recognisably American, and towed home to be sunk as a target.
