DIVING TRUK LAGOON
321' (98m), 2,827-ton Cargo Ship was used for auxiliary assignments and was in Truk Lagoon with a load of aviation gasoline drums on February 17, 1944. A pair of atacking aircraft from the USS Yorktown CV10 hit her with bombs at the bow and midships, igniting her fuel drums into an immense explosion, ripping her apart, with the bow of the ship being cast 200 meters away from what remained of the aft half of the ship. Four crew members died.
