A five man Navy inquiry opened after the 2460 ton supply ship ran aground in Leghorn harbor as 60 mph winds and heavy seas battered the area. Rescue efforts with helicopters from Midway and Leyte saved 16 crewmen, while the stern lay on rocks and surface ships could not reach the vessel. The crew, many treated at a local Army hospital, await statements from 39 sailors as the court gathers details of the incident and orders given by Captain Henry P. Sauriant.
