Lahaina, Hawaii
Thus now virtually "alone", "Aylwin" came about and headed for Lahaina, Hawaii. The beleaguered ship found no solace en route, however, for she spotted three fast minelayers closing from six miles away, and after identifying them as "enemy", went to general quarters at 07:30, "opening fire" three minutes later. However, the umpires quickly declared her "hors de combat" so she joined her "out of action" consorts soon thereafter.
