The torpedo that made this hole penetrated two-feet inside the ship and was initially held in place by the force of its own propellers. Once the torpedo’s fuel was exhausted, the motors stopped and the torpedo fell away and sank. The area of the ship where this torpedo struck stored aviation gasoline and a bomb locker.
