Turret Two Explosion Investigation Following
the terrible explosion in the center gun of Turret Two aboard Newport News, an extensive
investigation was began almost immediately. The
Report of that investigation is attached below. This
information was found in the USS Newport News’ Ship’s history file at the Naval
History Center the Navy Yard in Washington, DC. These documents have been
declassified. The various reference documents listed in the report were not
available. Also, any follow recommendations
or procedural changes can not be confirmed.
Editors Note: I have made every effort to transcribe the report in exact detail. If anyone has additional information or discovers any errors please let me know.
God Bless the Men of Turret II
