U.S.S. Liscombe Bay was a CVE; combustible, vulnerable, and explosive. She became a mushroom cloud.
My father in law was on the Corregidor, another CVE (58), stationed next to the Liscombe Bay when she was hit. He was an aircraft mechanic, but was at his anti-aircraft battle station on the side of the ship at the time. He saw the torpedoes coming. They seemed to be coming right at him, but missed the Corregidor, and at least one struck the Liscombe Bay. It penetrated the ships magazine, and caused a horrific explosion. She sank in minutes killing almost everyone on board.
My father in law wrote of this in one of his memoirs.
