Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
A harrowing account of a disaster at sea. In April 1989, during a training exercise, the center gun in Turret 2 of the battleship USS Iowa blew up. A botched invest. of the 47 fatalities began hours after the explosion. At Capt. Fred Moosally's order, 250 sailors labored to clean up the scarred turret, heaving steel plates and equip. overboard and scrubbing off splatters of gore before painting the structure inside and out. A technical team lost key evidence while conducting tests that proved nothing but the team's own incompetence. The effort to pin blame for the explosion on Seaman Clayton Hartwig, who died in the explosion, supposedly acting to revenge a thwarted homosexual affair, ultimately destroyed careers up the chain of command of the U.S. Navy.
