Minesweeper Before its Final Plunge. "The USS Tide, a minesweeper that preceded the invasion armada to the coast of Normandy, dies in the waters off France. This striking picture, made from a Coast Guard fighting ship, shows the stricken vessel burning as two other ships stand by to pick up survivors. A few moments later the Tide sinks to the bottom."
