Destroyer Down (MOD) (DVD Movie)

In 1943, the USS Murphy, along with seven other destroyers and two battleships, left New York Harbor to accompany a supply convoy headed to England. The convoy sailed dark on that moonless night--not even a cigarette could be lit on deck. Suddenly, the Murphy was struck and sliced in half. The bow sank and took 35 men down, but incredibly, the stern stayed afloat. We follow a team of divers who found the bow in 2000 as they piece together what happened, and talk to survivors of that deadly dark night.
