Army Observer Praises Shenandoah Engines
Lakehamte Nd Sept 25 A naval court of inquiry heard Army observers say the Shenandoah engines may have contributed to the disaster but their testimony was more assumption than fact. Lieut Commander Rosendahl asked when engines failed and received the reply unable to say. Colonel Hall opined that loss of two of five engines increased the chance of the craft being drawn into a storm vortex after a 15 minute fight. One engine failed from a cracked cylinder and another from radiator leakage.
