The #2 turret of the USS Iowa (BB-61) exploded on April 19, 1989, killing 47 members of the turret crew in one of the deadliest peacetime disasters in U.S. Navy history; in the background, the left gun of Turret One is shown fully elevated as its crew attempts to clear an earlier misfire by trying to coax the powder bags to slide backward against the primer, a risky procedure that underscores the dangerous conditions aboard the battleship that day.🕊⚓🇺🇸 | History Vault Archives
