Lee Ragan Posted August 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2009 I once saw some photos taken inside the turret after the expolsion. I believe this was when I was in the Naval Reserve in the early 70's. Everything appeared to have been melted into the walls of the turret for the heat. Tragic loss of life.
