michel:

The working pressure of the four Babcock & Wilcox boilers on the
USS MEREDITH (DD-726) was 565psi @ 850 degree F.........

I served 2 years on the USS WILLARD KEITH (DD-775), a SUMNER-class 2200-ton destroyer and 2 years on the USS
JOSEPH P. KENNEDY, JR (DD-850), A 2250-ton GEARINg-class
destroyer. Both used the same four boilers, until they received the
FRAM modification/upgrade after WWII.

I don't disagree with your "possible theory" of a boiler explosion, however, how can it be proven?"

Btw, I served 12 years on "targets' and 12 years on submarines......

A bientot,

ROBERT M.
