It's definitely in the mix, but we have 454 ships. It's slightly larger than average, and has about a 0.3% chance of being assigned. So someone may get it.
I'm not completely convinced that it's the worst story, though it may be. Those guys on the destroyers that swamped in Typhoon Cobra met a tough end, as did the survivors of my own Juneau. And then of course you've got the Arizona, but at least that happened fast.
I think one of the worst things about dying in a war, aside from the dying part, would be not knowing how it ends. If you're a Juneau crew member in 1942 or a Pearl Harbor guy, you died without knowing the great ending to the story, and that would be very unappealing.
