Cause of Accident on the eKarsarge Examined by Admiral Evans
A cable from Rear Admiral Evans of the Atlantic fleet from Camarones Cuba predicts the court of inquiry will likely end soon. He attributes the explosion to fused metal from an electric switch shorted by accidental contact with a shell extractor during charge withdrawal. The extractor is passed from above and not normally kept in the turret, marking the incident as highly singular yet plausible given recent electrical advances.
