| Description |
Explosion of USS Mount Hood (AE-11) in Seeadler Harbor, Manus, Admiralty Islands, 10 November 1944. Small craft gathered around USS Mindanao (ARG-3) during salvage and rescue efforts shortly after Mount Hood blew up about 350 yards away from Mindanao's port side. Mindanao, and seven motor minesweepers (YMS) moored to her starboard side, were damaged by the blast, as were the USS Alhena (AKA-9), in the photo's top left center, and USS Oberrender (DE-344), in top right. Note the extensive oil slick, with tracks through it made by small craft. Copied from the War Diary, Manus Naval Base, for November 1944. US Navy photo # NH 95405 from the collections of the US Naval Historical Center. Official Navy photo taken from http://www.navsource.org/archives/06/images/0634402.jpg |
