USS. Pennsylvania
t
Damaged By
Torpedo Bomber
GUAM, Aug. 24—(/P)—The luck
of the USS. Pennsylvania which
carried it through a 20-year car
eer, encompassing two world
wars, ran out in the final hours of
the present conflict as a Jap tor
pedo bomber pressed home a
sneak attack, blasting a gaping
hole in the ship’s side and leaving
twenty men killed or missing.
The Jap plane swept in low,
catching the thirty-three thousand
ton vessel unawares on the night
of August twelfth, while current
negotiations already were under
way, the Navy permitted it to be
disclosed.
The torpedo struck low on the
starboard side, damaging the mag
azines, but not exploding them.
Most of the casualties occurred
below in the navigation depart
ment. The ship was blacked out at
the time of the attack. At no time
was an alarm given. The attack
ing plane escaped.
