Picture of the sinking of the USS St. Lo. Within one to one and a half minutes (of the Kamikaze strike) an explosion occurred on the hanger deck, which puffed smoke and flame throught the hole in the deck, and, I believe, bulged the flight deck near and aft of the hole. This was followed in a matter of seconds by a much more violent explosion, which rolled back a part of the flight deck, bursting through aft of the original hole. action report, USS St. Lo (CVE 63) F.J.
