| Dedicated to the USS BACHE DD-470 |
| As a survivor of the grounding of the Bache off Rhodes, Greece, I have spent countless hours searching for information across the web. I was very disappointed at how scarce the information was. My intention is to make this as complete a history of this ship as I can. The information gathered will be from as many sources as I can find, whether on the web or not. Every effort will be made to give credit to the sources. |
