And there was another ammo ship that blew up on the West Coast of the USA, during WWII, while loading.

 Hello
 Richard Aiken,

 IIRC or I was not told a sea story originally there was
 an ammunition ship that blew up while tied up in Pearl
 Harbor long after the Dec. 7th attack.

 Exactly. Or as one of my favorite quotes put
 it, "A ship in the harbor is safe. But that's not
 what ships are for."

 Just a thought: the USS Maine blew up at anchor . . .
 :P
