Tells the story of the May 21, 1944 bombing of landing ship tanks (LSTs) in the West
Loch section of Pearl Harbor. The fleet had been readied to invade Saipan, until the
explosive fires caused six LSTs to be lost, many others badly damaged, and more than
500 military personnel killed or injured. The Navy-ordered censor kept this disaster
from public scrutiny for seventy years
