Explosion was so powerful it was like a mini atomic bomb! All on board perished, but thankfully it all happened so quickly that they wouldn't have known anything about it!http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=124)

On December 28th, 1944, Japanese air attacks commence against Mindoro-bound TG 77.11 (Captain George F. Mentz). Kamikazes crash tank landing ship LST-750 and U.S. freighters William Sharon and John Burke.
John Burke, carrying ammunition, explodes, the cataclysmic blast damaging auxiliary Porcupine (IX-126) and motor torpedo boat PT-332. There are no survivors from among John Burke´s 40-man merchant complement and 28-man Armed Guard.
William Sharon, afire is abandoned. Once the fire extinguished, salvage vessel Grapple (ARS-7) tows her to San Pedro Bay for repairs.

Well thanks, CuChi, but sometimes you just get orders to one. 4+yrs on USS Mt. Baker AE-34. I always told the other guys, if anything happens, you will never know it. Why worry? Like lots of us Apaches, I've watched shit happen right in front of me that could have been it. Just lucky. A lot! More than once, Somebody was lookin after us. RIP Burke sailors, from your brother.
