Conter recalled how one bomb penetrated steel decks 13 minutes into the battle and set off over 1 million pounds of gunpowder stored below.
The explosion lifted the battleship 30 to 40 feet out of the water, he said during a 2008 oral history interview stored at the Library of Congress. Everything was on fire from the mainmast forward, he said.
RIP
