Naval experts examined a| jagged 25-by-15-foot hole in| the dry-docked U. 8. Destroyer Walke today to determine whether caused by a torpedo from an enemy submarine, | “It could have been anything,” they said at first glance. : An underwater explosion off the) .

The tremendous blast folded in some plates past midship, against which a number of men were sleeping. The Walke was put in dry-dock this morning and 13 shattered bodies were removed from its flooded compartments.

Mr. Kirkland, a veteran of two World War II ship disasters in the Pacific, said “the force of the thing blew me out of my shoes. It broke my arm but I did not find it out until later when a doctor came aboard from another ship, The disaster struck .while the Walke was guarding the aircraft carrier Bonhomme Richard. Crew members reported the destroyer was traveling at about 20 knots speed when it was struck. Some felt a ship traveling at that rate would wash away any floating mine. They also doubted a mine could be moored at the 4,000-foot depth of water in which the Walke was moving.
