The Devastating Hit That Turned a WW2 Ship into a New Monster
In the waning months of World War 2, USS Canberra was thrust into the Pacific’s violent theater of war. Newly commissioned, she navigated into the maelstrom of battle late, but her participation would be exceptional.
Canberra met her trial by fire in the heart of the most brutal encounters - Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Each battle drove her deeper into territories held in the clenched fist of the Japanese Empire. Yet, in the face of escalating danger, her luck was to crumble.
On October 13, Canberra fell victim to a brutal assault. A Japanese aircraft’s torpedo struck beneath the cruiser’s armor belt with remarkable accuracy.
The blast hurled crew members into the air and ripped open the engineering rooms, exposing them to the relentless sea. She teetered on the brink, nearly claimed by the ocean’s depths.
