LINNETT |

[Edward] |
Leading
Seamn J/8090, H.M.S. Vanguard, Royal Navy. Died 9th July 1917.
Aged 23. Son of Charles Haddon Linnett and Emma S. Linnett,
of East Hanningfield. Commemorated on CHATHAM NAVAL MEMORIAL,
Kent. Panel 21. See Lyness
HMS Vanguard War Memorial.
Note:
HMS Vanguard exploded at Fleet Base of Scapa Flow around 11.30
pm on the 9th July 1917, with the total loss of 804 dead, leaving
only 2 survivors. A 12 inch gun turret weighing many tons was
hurled across the fleet at anchor, to land on Flotta, a mile
away, and set fire to the moorland. The loss of the Vanguard
is believed to have been caused by an explosion in one of the
two munition magazines which served the amidships turrets. Although
no formal cause for the cordite explosion was ever found by
the Court of Inquiry which was convened into such a major disaster,
the most likely explanation is that a fire in a coal bunker
or other neighbouring area smouldered away undetected long enough
to heat the cordite stored at an adjoining bulkhead to dangerous
levels, eventually triggering an explosive reaction. Eyewitness
accounts of the incident described seeing a bright flash or
flame, followed by two heavy explosions and then a third, smaller
one.
