I was aboard Iowa the day of the explosion. I was a Damage Controlman 2nd Class (DC2) and had been aboard since March 1987. I had breakfast with half the gun crew that morning. I knew most of the guys killed. A few of them I actually considered close friends, including Morrison and Helton, who were my bowling team partners on the ship's bowling league. I really haven't gone bowling since, maybe twice back in the 1990s. I just can't bowl anymore, always looking around for those guys, but knowing they are long gone. This movie and the book are both a crock of BS! It really makes the crew look bad, and we were anything but! The majority of battleship Iowa veterans who were there have also opened up and voiced their disgust with the book and movie. For example, I was involved in firefighting, dewatering, and removing remains, especially from the powder flats in the bottom of the turret on the lowest deck. They portrayed those guys as still intact with their dungarees intact. I can tell you after all these years now, that EVERYONE in that part of the turret were flash burned, their clothes all burned off. I won't go into much detail. Just imagine seeing a bunch of clotheless, hairless mannekins around with only a belt and boots on, and you can somewhat paint a picture. The fireball was so intense, moving so fast, that whatever position these guys were in in that second, is basically how we found them. That has been my continued nightmares to this day. One guy was still kneeling, holding a fire nozzle in one hand with his hand over the bail, as if waiting to turn on the water that never came until the turret sprinklers were activated. Another guy was still sitting, looking up the powder hoist, still wearing a set of sound-powered phones with his hand over the microphone part, finger over the button to talk. Yeah, neither the book nor the movie did any justice to what all really happened!

Indeed.....Hollywood does spice up true stories to bring in the $. I imagine that they were avoiding age restrictions regarding the remains in the turret scenes. The Turret Explosion could have been much worse if not for the efforts of Damage control and decisions made to prevent the other powder bags/shells etc from cooking off....IE full magazine explosion. This event is right up there with USS Forrestals tragic explosion/fire RIP all whom were lost, My sympathies to their families and friends....but also to the sailors who collected their remains - 😢 such as yourself, haunting is apt.

But what exactly do you criticize on the book ?
@danielburdette6648 Жыл бұрын
@@andreasschmidt2739 Quite a bit. The writer only interviewed a handful of the crew. Some of that information was more opinionated than factual. I didn't read all the book because just several pages into it, the madder I got and knew from being there that it in no way was honoring the memories of our 47 shipmates. In the movie, there was a bunch of crap, too. Cracking open beers and sharing them with the gun crew? Very highly unlikely. The only time we were allowed beer onboard was when we were out to sea for more than 3 months without hitting a port. Then, each crewmember was allowed 2 beers. Now, some guys didn't drink, so they sold their beers to other shipmates (my chief got a bit tanked by buying quite a few of those from other guys). Really, there should have been more crewmember interviews and better "investigative reporting" done before that book was ever published. This was just a writer trying to make a name for himself, no matter who it hurt and no matter whether it was accurate or only partly so. The most accurate investigation as to the cause was conducted by Sandia Laboratories. The most likely cause was the proven high speed overram of powder bags compressed against the projectile. I personally talked to several of my Gunners Mate friends from the other turrets. As they knew all the other Gunners, one thing became clear that Charles Thompson III missed out on. We were severely understaffed in the turrets due to some of the crew attending some gunnery school back in the states at the time of the explosion. Therefore, inexperienced crewmembers were assigned turret duty. My friend, GMG3 Heath Stillwagon was reassigned from turret 3 to turret 2 because of the shortage. My very close friends and bowling teammates, LN1 Robert Morrison and LN1 Michael Helton (Legalmen, basically court reporters) were assigned to turret two as punishment for having been found napping during a GQ (General Quarters) drill. Those guys hardly ever slept, really didn't have a "battle station", so I always blamed the XO and Weps officer for their deaths. Another thing that was pointed out was that the rammerman was inexperienced and had only run the rammer before with practice bags, and then with 6 bags, never 5. The fact center gun was behind in loading combined with the fact they were experimenting with a "higher octane/faster burning" gunpowder charge, and the fact that some of the last words were "Center gun a little behind, still loading" led many of us who were there to believe that what most likely happened was, the rammerman was uncomfortable only ramming 5 bags, unsure of how far he needed to push them in, and most likely, knowing the way things worked back then, was probably getting yelled at and being told to hurry up. He may have panicked and just pulled on the rammer too hard and too fast. Not saying he was responsible for the blast, just saying the environment at the time was like a house of cards. There were so many things wrong that it only took one mistake to set it off. I believe Captain Moosally was oblivious to the overall problems in the turrets due to a breakdown in communication within the chain of command. A CO is only as good as the people below him, and if the Weapons Officer wasn't passing crucial information on to the CO, then there's another piece of the puzzle. The new XO we had tended to rule with an iron fist (our previous XO, "Iron Mike" Fahey was, imo, a far better XO who cared about the crew.) I really feel Moosally didn't have a clue as to just how bad things were in Weapons Department. I personally was always writing up and submitting to my LPO deficiencies in the conditions of damage control gear that G2 Division was in charge of. Every division is assigned a DCPO (Damage Control Petty Officer). Truitt was G2's, at least 6 months prior when I worked with him on the turret sprinklers. The biggest issues were with the main deck hatches and passing scuttles for the 16" ammo. Most of them leaked in heavy rains and high seas onto the 2nd deck. I had stood the 0400-0800 DC Central watch the morning of April 19th, 1989. I received the Oil Lab report which shows how many people are onboard, and I clearly remember, we had around 1340 personnel aboard that day according to the report, give or take, may have been in 1350 or 1330 range, but definitely far shy of the 1500 complement we were supposed to have. I believe that had that Admiral not flown out to visit the Iowa that day, it's possible that they may not have even fired the guns that day, and perhaps we could have avoided this disaster. I had a late breakfast with half of turret two's crew that morning. I can still hear them disgusted as they were ordered to "Now man up all main battery fire control stations". Some had just sat down with their trays to eat when GMGCS Ziegler walked into the starboard side aft mess decks yelling, "All you guys were ordered to your stations! Now get there!" I heard some of them yelling back, "F--- that! We ain't even supposed to be firing these guns on this cruise!" A couple more were, "I'll be down as soon as I eat!" Ziegler yelled back, "Anyone not on their post in 10 minutes is on report!" And that was the last time I saw those guys alive. Like I said, so many things that were wrong. The biggest wrong, of course, was Adm. Milligan's botched investigation and trying to use GMG2 Clayton Hartwig as a scapegoat. Had they not gone in that direction, I feel that we, as a crew, could have healed from what happened. But, because of what the Navy did, many of us have never been able to heal. This book and this movie just opened up painful wounds and stirred up more resentment among those of us who were there.

Yeah, the upper part of the turret (gun house) was like that, but we kind of expected to see the worst horrors possible from seeing the outside of the turret and the charred paint and teakwood deck outside the turret. I personally was on the 0-1 level port side right behind turret two and felt something hard under my boot. I looked down and picked it up and realized I had a piece about 3 or 4 inches long of someone's jawbone with the gun and 3 molars still in it. I knew it was really bad at that point. Also, I found coins (nickels and quarters) that washed out of the turret that were bent and had the president's faces melted off. I can never forget that day or my shipmates, both those we lost and the ones who were left to clean up the mess. We are a tight knit group.

As a Navy Veteran, I can't say that I liked this movie, it's not that kind of movie, you don't watch something like this to be entertained. I do believe that in as much as any Hollywood movie can, it did its best to tell the truth about the tragic events on that day. A very telling scene at the end of the movie, when Truitt, reported to his new duty station spoke volumes as to how the Navy in particular, and the Military in general works. For the rest of his Naval enlistment, no matter how spotless his record going forward might be. Truitt had a mark on his record. Everything he did after that was seen through that mark. Make no mistake, the Navy, or rather the Armed Forces, never make mistakes, they never make errors in judgment, ever. For any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States, to admit to making a mistake, or an error in judgment, is tantamount to showing weakness in the face of the enemy. And as such will not be tolerated.

The weird part is, just a year later in 2002 came out K-19 Widowmaker with $90 million budget, why not spend that money publicizing some of countless US navy's accidents like this one and highlight their heroism and showing that US officers can also be sometimes negligent? This looks really suspicious from a foreigner's point of view, it really seems like an officer wearing stars and stripes can never be wrong in Hollywood... and then I read about US military supporting movie makers in exchange of right of final cut. In other words, if military doesn't like it, they will force you to change you, or it won't come out.

So read your comment, Absolutely right the military will never admit they exercised bad judgement. I remember seeing this first hand with the Air Force more then once. On a cold -40 F night in Alaska in the middle of a frigging white out we were flying NVG sorties and lost a jet. Now it's hard enough driving in a white out, try flying in one with instrument failure specifically the ADI or aircraft direction indicator this is the gizmo that tells the pilot which way the jet is pointed and whether they are flying level or are inverted. Of course the accident investigation board called it instrument failure which caused the pilot to suffer from spacial disorientation . However if we had not been training in weather we wouldn't conduct real world missions in then pilot would still be alive today. We would never have flown a CAS mission in that type of weather under combat conditions so why were we doing it under peace time training conditions. All the high tech in the world isn't going to be able to pick out targets on the ground under near white out conditions. We should not have been flying that night and it's a miracle we didn't lose more jets.

What made me angry is the complete cover up and the whole cya that the navy perpetuated to cover up the incompetence of their supposedly brilliant officers. Hartwig and his bestfriend get railroaded for adhering to an age old custom among the enlisted men to make their friends beneficiaries to their life insurance. I hope that all that died in this complete cluster fuck are resting in peace. I hope the rest of the survivors are doing well.

That means that at one point in time he was sent to Captain's Mast. Those without disciplinary action have black chevrons on their dress whites, and gold ones on their dress blues. I myself was one of those petty officers who was sent to Captain's Mast on several articles of the UCMJ, one of which I disputed, but it made no difference in the end and therefore my chevrons went from gold and black to red.
