Investigators determined the instrument used by Lieut. Graham Newell Fitche to tap Morse code from the torpedo room of the submarine S-4 was a torpedo socket wrench, not a hammer. The board found six entombed sailors died from chlorine gas after water flooded the battery room, refuting the postcrash rescue theory. Eight bodies, including six who tapped messages for relief, lay in charred coffins at Charlestown naval hospital as salvage continued.
