I read the report when it came out. Part of the blame was the condition of the powder. A similar explosion from the same causes had happened aboard a heavy cruiser a few decades before.

"Part of the blame was the condition of the powder"

That's the Navy pointing fingers at everyone and everything except the Captain.
