The U.S. Navy destroyer USS <i>Phelps</i> (DD-360) during the third day of the Battle of Midway, on 6 June 1942. <i>Phelps</i> lost suction because fuel oil was running low and caused a huge cloud of smoke to ascend skyward. The light cruiser USS <i>Atlanta</i> (CL-51) approached and offered its assistance but the <i>Phelps</i> resumed its position in the battle line shortly afterwards without requiring outside help.
