The history of the largest explosions #11 USS Maine explosion The USS Maine explosion occurred on February 15, 1898, involving the United States battleship USS Maine. The ship was anchored in Havana Harbor, Cuba, as tensions between the United States and Spain escalated due to the Cuban War of Independence. At approximately 9:40 PM, an explosion tore through the USS Maine, causing it to sink rapidly. An official U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry ruled in March that the ship was blown up by a mine, without directly placing the blame on Spain. Out of the approximately 355 crew members aboard the ship at the time, around 260 perished in the explosion or its immediate aftermath. The exact number of casualties varies in different historical accounts due to discrepancies in the count and the difficulty of recovering bodies from the sunken ship. This incident heightened tensions between the United States and Spain, ultimately leading to the Spanish-American War. The loss of American lives aboard the USS Maine fueled public outrage in the United States and played a significant role in the decision to go to war with Spain. The rallying cry "Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain!" became a popular slogan as the nation mourned the loss of its sailors and demanded justice for the incident.

👍 Recommended reading: A review paper "War at Sea: Burn Care Challenges—Past, Present and Future" by Dr. Matthew Tadlock's team. Throughout history, seafarers have been exposed to potential thermal injuries during naval warfare; however, injury prevention, including advances in personal protective equipment, has saved lives. Thankfully, #burn injuries have decreased over time, which has resulted in a significant clinical skills gap. This paper reviews the mechanisms of thermal injury during routine naval operations and naval warfare. Lessons learned from various modern maritime mass casualty incidents are emphasized. The review article concludes with recommendations to prepare modern navies for a future war at sea. 🔗 Check the full paper: https://lnkd.in/e_DrJhBJ
