Yep

DD 224 USS Stewart

Seen on numerous occasions by U.S. forces who could have "killed" it, but even after the Japanese trunked together her two forward funnels into a "shoe" configuration, and added a tri-pod mast, by those who sighted her deep behind the lines of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere....
and I Quote...."By all that is Holy in the silhouette book, she was American. Plumb bow, flush deck, and two after stacks."

Found at Kure-Hiroshima, lost at Soerabaja.

The Scuttling charges failed to go off, and the Japanese made use of her.

Wonder why nations sink there own ships when the situation becomes untenable ? Don't.

your go Slip
