NUWC Division Newport’s 70th anniversary of explosion demonstrates the importance of honoring Memorial Day
On the morning of April 26, 1955, five civilian workers at the Naval Underwater Ordnance Station, a precursor organization of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport Division Newport, were killed in an explosion during a test event in a dynamometer test room. The blast is believed to have resulted from a high-pressure line rupture while testing a high-energy monopropellant fuel in a modified Mark 16 Mod 3 torpedo. This year marks the 70th anniversary of that incident and the deaths and highlights the importance of recognizing Memorial Day.
