[[Image:H66722.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Honda Point disaster, 8 September 1923]]
The Navy's greatest navigational tragedy took place in September 1923 at an isolated [[California]] coastal headland locally known as '''Honda Point'''. Officially called Point Pedernales, Honda is a few miles from the northern entrance of the heavily-traveled Santa Barbara Channel. Completely exposed to wind and wave, and often obscured by fog, this rocky shore has claimed many vessels, but never more at one stroke than at about 9 PM on the dark evening of 8 September 1923, when seven nearly-new [[United States Navy]] destroyers and twenty-three lives were lost.
