About This Item
Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 1999. 3rd printing. As New. octavo. dust jacket xiii + 187pp., b/w plates, diags., appends., index, ÔThe explosion aboard the battleship Iowa in 1989 that killed forty-seven crewmen during a routine gunnery exercise was a tragedy not only for the family and friends of those who died but for the U.S. Navy, whose awkward attempts to determine a cause failed miserably. When navy investigators concluded that the explosion (in one of the warship's huge 16-inch guns) was not an accident but a deliberate act by a member of the crew who died in the blast, there was a public outcry. Congressional committees held hearings on the navy's findings and called for further investigation after serious flaws in the report were uncovered.Õ Ex-library copy with small labels o/w a nice copy
