The figurehead of the previous USS Mississippi is is on permanent display outside the Mississippi capitol building. It was taken off when it was sold to Greece, I think. The Luftwaffe sank it in the Mediterranean Sea.The one being talked about, along with many other ships, was used in trials to see what an atomic bomb would do to ships.
Would a visual inspection of the barrel reveal any unused/burning remnants of the previous round? After the compressed air was injected into the barrel, would a crewman, who leaned over and looked up the length of the barrel, be able to see such remnants? Is such an inspection REQUIRED as part of the crews training? If yes, why were there no (post mortem) charges? If yes, why were there not stricter inspection rules? If yes, considering that THE SAME THING had previously killed dozens of sailors, why was the command so negligent in enforcing stricter inspection procedures? Why was the crew so lazy as to not just "lean over and look up the barrel"? Sure. I want a scapegoat. I also want to know cause-and-effect.

Thank you HIDDEN HISTORY for the hard work that comes from your research.Its not very easy tracking WW2 operations down.😊
how could such a sophisticated and prestigious nation as ours let something like this happen.. Just goes to show how much better our country is now!
I will have to disagree with you on that comment.My thoughts are just the opposite.😊
@@markpaul-ym5wgmaybe the comment was satirical?

Sure. I want a scapegoat.

I wonder how this could have been prevented too.
