Editing USS PC-815 (section)

== Collision with USS ''Laffey'' ==
After Hubbard was replaced, ''PC-815'' remained in San Diego as a shore patrol vessel, but appears to have been mostly inactive. According to her Movement Card she took part in the occasional offshore patrol, participated in training exercises, and escorted submarines in and out of the harbor. She was restored to active duty on 2 September 1945, but at 6:47&nbsp;a.m. on 11 September, the ship collided with the destroyer {{USS|Laffey|DD-724|6}} in dense fog off San Diego. The collision started a fire on board ''PC-815'', which sank within five minutes. One man from ''PC-815'' was recorded as missing, presumed drowned. The ''Laffey'' suffered significant damage, with the fire from ''PC-815'' spreading into one of the destroyer's compartments.<ref name="sables" />

Navy divers demolished the wreck in early November 1945 due to the navigation hazard that it posed to a busy shipping channel. It is reported to be lying at {{Coord|32|37|54|N|117|14|12|W|}} in {{convert|90|ft|m}} of water and is said to be diveable.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.divebums.com/Wrecks/PC815.html |title=Wrecks: USS PC-815 |website=San Diego Divebums |access-date=2014-01-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717003143/http://www.divebums.com/Wrecks/PC815.html |archive-date=2012-07-17}}</ref>
