But enough fragmentation punching through the bulkhead to injur 11 was a little hard for me to swallow ... but stranger things have happened.

remember: bulkheads of modern Naval vessels is Aluminum!

Could have been 2 grenades? Or, some fragment of a partially exploded munition next to another like piece, I know an idiot..I mean, Boot Marine that went for a walk in the impact range on OP2 on Lyman Road at Lejuene back in 79, he put it in his cammie pockets on his leg, they scratched togethor, he was lucky they were willie pete, it burned through his pant leg instead of explode!
