At 0110 on the morning of 1 October 1972, while on a fire mission off Vietnam, a faulty 8-inch projectile detonated prematurely in the center barrel of turret two. The shells in the powder train leading up from the magazine burned rapidly and 20 men were killed. This view inside the turret shows the effects of the intense heat. The powder tray extends up the center of the photo and into the breachblock.
