Talk:Clayton Hartwig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Conclusion of investigation?

That policy kicked off a Naval criminal investigation that eventually concluded Hartwig was angry at Truitt over a cooling of their relationship, crafted a detonator and set off the blast. This conclusion was strongly disputed by others.

Whoa- wait a second here- the USS Iowa (BB-61) article contradicts this, saying:

The NCIS Investigators at first theorized that a crewman named Clayton Hartwig had detonated an explosive device in the turret, killing himself and 46 others, allegedly due to the end of a homosexual affair with another sailor, who survived. This theory was later abandoned, and the cause of the explosion, though never determined with certainty, is generally believed to have been static electricity igniting loose powder.

So what's the deal here? Was Hartwig exonorated by the Navy or not? - Eric 08:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
