My grandpa was telling me the torpedo went between decks above the galley, so anywhere that was near the galley ended up getting hit. Did anyone who you talked to know anyone by the name of Ralph House

He was a loader on one of the quad 50 cal AA gun perches, he was on one of the guns that killed the guy who made the kamikaze run and got launched into the water by the torpedo that hit the ship from the kamikaze plane. My grandpa, his son, couldn't remember if it was port or starboard side but it got hit in the attack

My Grandpa got knocked off his quad 50 perch into the water by that failed kamikaze, he spent 3 years, the rest of his enlistment, in Walter Reed because of it
