In 1989 there was a gun turret explosion on the battleship USS New Jersey which caused numerous deaths. The first investigation into the explosion, conducted by the U.S. Navy, concluded that one of the gun turret crew members, Clayton Hartwig, who died in the explosion, had deliberately caused it.
After a more thorough investigation, the incident was attributed to an accidental misloading of the gun.
The point? Let's wait 'til all the facts are in before condemning a sailor accused by his superiors. They could be wrong AGAIN.
You tagged me in that response and I just want to be clear that I only posted the article. And did not make any judgement on the matter.
