It really must be said. Taking the door off the magazine of a ship totally negates the safety the magazine was designed to implement. Any and ALL of the sailors that did this are and/or were guilty of gross negligence, incompetence & total ignorance. And most every sailor aboard paid the cost. Every sailor that knew that those safety mechanisms had been taken away should have spoken up & blown the whistle about it, so to speak. It should not have been kicked down the road like a tin can & ignored until battlecruisers started suffering catastrophic explosions & sinking with all hands in a matter of what??? Three ships in one battle? The only saving grace for the sailors aboard... their loved ones can truthfully say "They went out with a bang! A VERY BIG BANG"!!! I'm certain they covered it up so that close relatives couldn't sue the Gov't for negligence. Although it is a much different circumstance, whenever I hear of a magazine detonation I always think of the horrifying footage of the Arizona blowing up at Pearl Harbor. And how over a thousand lives can be snuffed out in a second!!!
