Thanks for posting these. The one in this post is USS Downes blowing up in the dry dock she shared with Cassin and Pennsylvania. An incendiary bomb hit her fuel tanks, and all that was left was parts of the superstructure.

Oops, should have looked at post 22...the photo in 22 is the drydock, and it appears I'm in error. Cassin is in the right foreground, she slipped off her keel blocks after the explosion and is resting against Downes. Pennsylvania is to the rear. All three ships lived to fight Japan again.
