Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Battleship Iowa written by Lawrence Burr and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USS Iowa BB-61, the first of four Iowa-class battleships built for the U.S. Navy, was launched in 1942. Capable of thirty-three knots and armed with nine new fifty-caliber sixteen-inch guns, she was the pinnacle of battleship design for the U.S. Navy during World War II. The Iowa class perfectly merged the heavy armor of battleships with the speed of battlecruisers. Iowa's speed and heavy armament positioned her to accompany and protect U.S. Fast Carrier task forces through the Pacific War by participating in multiple actions from Truck, the Philippine Sea, Leyte, and ending in Tokyo Bay. Deactivated in 1948, the outbreak of the Korean War saw Iowa recommissioned in 1951 for shore bombardment duty in support of United Nation troops against the North Korean army invasion. Iowa returned to the U.S. in 1952, and then participated in NATO exercises until she was decommissioned in 1958. Soviet expansion and rearmament programs in the 1970's saw Iowa recommissioned in 1984 following a two-year modernization program. This program saw the addition of nuclear capable Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles and modern computer-based communication technology. Extensive exercises with NATO forces and goodwill visits carried through until April 1989, when tragedy struck the ship with an explosion in gun turret two killing 47crew members. The soundness of Iowa's design and her armored strength prevented the explosion from reaching her magazines and the potential loss of the ship. Decommissioned in October 1990 and placed in reserve, she would eventually be stricken from the Navy record in 2006. Transferred to the Port of Los Angeles in 2012, Iowa now serves as the National Museum of the Surface Navy located at San Pedro, California.

Book Synopsis The Battleship USS Iowa by : Stefan Draminski
Download or read book The Battleship USS Iowa written by Stefan Draminski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USS Iowa (BB-61) was the lead ship in one of the most famous classes of battleships ever commissioned into the US Navy. Transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1944, the Iowa first fired her guns in anger in the Marshall Islands campaign, and sunk her first enemy ship, the Katori. The Iowa went on to serve across a number of pivotal Pacific War campaigns, including at the battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. The ship ended the war spending several months bombarding the Japanese Home Islands before the surrender in August 1945. After taking part in the Korea War, the Iowa was decommissioned in 1958, before being briefly reactivated in the 1980s as part of President Reagan's 600-Ship Navy Plan. After being decommissioned a second and final time in 1990, the Iowa is now a museum ship in Los Angeles. This new addition to the Anatomy of the Ship series is illustrated with contemporary photographs, scaled plans of the ship and hundreds of superb 3D illustrations which bring every detail of this historic battleship to life.

Book excerpt: Assesses a number of issues concerning the explosion aboard the U.S.S. Iowa on April 19, 1989, when 47 sailors died when 5 bags of propellant ignited in the open chamber of the center 16-inch gun of turret II. The Navy's investigation concluded that the explosion resulted from a deliberate act and not from a defect in the gun or propellant. The overall battleship program of the U.S. Navy is also reviewed. Addresses the Navy's technical investigation of the explosion; the serviceability, supportability, and safety of the battleships' 16-inch guns and ammunition; the battleships' manning levels and training of assigned personnel; the gunnery experiments that were being conducted on board the Iowa; and the battleship employment plan.
