My FIL was a sailor on the Corregidor, a sister ship of the Lissome Bay, and was near her when she was hit. His battle station was at an antiaircraft gun position on the side of the ship. He saw the torpedoes coming and thought at first they were coming toward him. He believed a big explosion on the Lissome Bay was from a torpedo penetrating to the magazine.
