Yarnall On Loose

SAT 25 NOV 1939
Destroyer Yarnall (DD-143) drifts aground in Lynnhaven Roads; refloated that same day, she enters the Norfolk Navy Yard for repairs on 26 November. Yarnall had only been in commission since 4 October 1939.
What th'? A barely commissioned destroyer just drifts away? Lucky "we" won the effin' war, huh?
