Following Navy tradition, the Cruiser SANTA FE risks its own destruction by moving alongside to within "arm's length" of the FRANKLIN in order to fight the fires and to remove exhausted and injured crewmen. Bringing the cruiser in such close proximity to the carrier was a magnificent feat of seamanship on the part of the skipper and officers of the SANTA FE.
