The 1944 New Guinea Harbor Disaster: The Mystery of the USS Mount Hood Ammunition Ship ExplosionO...
Finally! Someone covering the lesser-known disasters. We focus so much on Pearl Harbor and Midway, but there were countless tragedies like Mount Hood that shaped the war. More articles like this, please!
"Mystery" seems like clickbait. Most historical explosions aren't really mysteries—they're just poorly documented. Before I share this, I need actual sources and evidence, not speculation.
This would make an incredible documentary. Imagine interviews with survivors, naval experts analyzing what went wrong, archival footage... someone needs to greenlight this project immediately.
Lost 206 men if my memory serves. Deadliest non-combat naval disaster of WWII. The real tragedy is how little attention it received compared to the Arizona or other ships. Politics, I guess.
The title says "mystery" but I don't see the actual mystery explained yet. What caused the explosion? Was it sabotage, negligence, or an accident? This is the part I really want to know about!
My grandfather served in the Pacific during '44. He never mentioned this but hearing about it now gives me chills. So many brave men lost at sea, mostly forgotten. Thank you for keeping their memory alive.
Wait, the article cuts off mid-sentence? "At the time, the USS Mount Hood, an American Navy ammunition transport ship, w" — please fix this! I want to read the full piece.
This is absolutely fascinating history. I had no idea about this disaster—it's criminal how little coverage it gets compared to other WWII naval incidents. The USS Mount Hood deserves to be remembered.
