USS OSAS, More Deadly Than The Titanic?

"There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers."  Phillip Franklin, White Star Line vice-president, 1912

Ships and words that have gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. The Year was 1912. The RMS Titanic was set to make her Maiden Voyage on this 14th  day of April.  Al Jolson’s, “That Haunting Melody,” was number one on the billboard.We all know the story…The belated iceberg spot, a failed swerve, the lack of lifeboats and the loss of over 1,500 lives – roughly 70% of the ship's passengers and crew – the sinking of the largest and most luxurious ship built at the time has become immortalized in popular history, inspiring documentaries, television dramas and Hollywood blockbusters.  What about the USS OSAS?
