26 April - USS Stewart (DD 13) collides with an unidentified steamer near Brest, France.

 


The USS Stewart (DD-13), a Bainbridge-class destroyer, collided with an unidentified steamer near Brest, France, on April 26, 1918. This incident occurred during World War I when the USS Stewart was serving as part of the United States Navy's contribution to the Allied effort in Europe.

The collision resulted in damage to the USS Stewart, which was likely repaired in due course. Unfortunately, historical records regarding this specific incident are limited, and details about casualties, if any, or the extent of the damage sustained by both vessels are not readily available. However, it's worth noting that naval operations during wartime often involved risks and challenges, including navigational hazards and encounters with enemy vessels or submarines.
