Dan and Vickie Ashley80 viewsDan and Vickie were our speakers at the reunion 2007 dinner. They are the parents of MM2(SS) Joseph Ashley who perished when the USS San Francisco collided with an underwater mountain.
"On 8 January 2005 at about 0200 GMT, San Francisco collided with an undersea mountain about 560 kilometers (350 statute miles) south of Guam while operating at about 35 knots and more than 500 feet deep. The collision was so serious that the vessel was almost lost- accounts detail a desperate struggle for positive buoyancy to surface after the forward ballast tanks were ruptured. Twenty-three crewmen were injured, and Machinist's Mate Second Class Joseph Allen Ashley, 24, of Akron, Ohio, died on 9 January from head injuries. Other injuries to the crew included broken bones, lacerations, and a back injury. San Francisco’s forward ballast tanks and sonar dome were severely damaged, but her inner hull was not breached and there was no damage to her nuclear reactor. She surfaced and, accompanied by USCGC Galveston Island (WPB-1349), USNS Stockham (T-AK-3017), and USNS Kiska (T-AE-35), as well as MH-60S Knighthawks and P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft, arrived in Guam on 10 January. The Navy immediately stated that there was "absolutely no reason to believe that it struck another submarine or vessel." Later, an examination of the submarine in drydock showed unmistakably that the submarine had indeed struck an undersea mountain which had only vague references on the charts available to San Francisco."
