Delayed flareback blamed for Georgia turret tragedy
Naval board findings attribute the Georgia battle ship turret disaster to a delayed flareback after tests. Investigators ruled out electrical or spark causes and noted the air blast device may have been shut off too soon, driving gas back into the powder charge. The report cites prior Missouri and Georgia tests, mentions Ambassador Bryce condolence, and notes plans for Midshipman Cruse’s Arlington funeral with ROTC pallbearers.
