Regarding the Halifax, Texas City and Port Chigago disasters, all three resulted from explosions of ammunition and/or explosive laden ships. These weren't little bitty explosions neither.

Is it at all possible to model a cargo ship to explode with anything at all like the severity of what occurred there? Not something that would be commonly run across, of course. And would it be at all historical for a ship carrying cargo such as those were carrying to be found in the Atlantic during '39 - '45?
