Zigzagging pla noofr th ingin g were taught to avoid being hit by a torpedo. In essence, it is like not being hit by a sniper. In doing this they came across an area called Diamond Shoals. Though the shells werent doing that much damage, the bottom of the ocean did. So it slammed into the shoals and ran aground and was stuck hard aground and still being shelled. Now during the process of this, the Diamond Shoals life ship this was a purposebuilt light ship built in 1899, was anchored over Diamond Shoals for the specific pumps of warning ships that you can run aground there.
