World War II’s Unluckiest Ship? USS William D. Porter (Reaction)

Hey everyone—Happy here! Today I’m reacting to Sam O’Nella Academy’s classic: “World War II’s Unluckiest Ship — the William D. Porter.” This one’s short and chaotic, so I’m pairing it with another Sam O’Nella reaction on Banana Republics dropping today—two quick hits to tide you over while I prep my upcoming Oversimplified: WWII reaction series.

I also connect this story back to the “Russian Voyage Nobody Talked About” (BlueJay) where I mentioned the Willie D—so consider this the payoff to that teaser.

What’s inside:

The Willie D’s chaotic resume (anchor mishaps, depth-charge oopsies, rogue torpedo at USS Iowa, and one kamikaze plot twist)
Why the incident almost changed world history
How “bad luck vs. bad procedure” shaped the ship’s myth
Quick tie-ins to the upcoming Oversimplified: WWII series
