Dont forget this Ammunition Ship explosion on May 21 1944 in Pearl Harbor..
On 21 May 1944 an ammunition ship exploded in West Loch in Pearl Harbor. LST-353, while loading mortar ammunition in preparation for the Saipan operation, burst into flame and exploded with a series of great roars that were heard all over the island and far out to sea. Thousands of rounds of various munitions either exploded or were dispersed over the area. The cataclysmic ammunition explosion killed 163 and injured 396. Six tank landing ships (LST-39, LST-43, LST-69, LST-179, LST-353, LST-480), three tank landing craft (LCT-961, LCT-963, LCT-983), and 17 track landing vehicles (LVTs) are destroyed in explosions and fires
