256 Black sailors were found to be unjustly punished in 1944 following a horrific port explosion that killed hundreds of service members.
The explosion killed 320 sailors and civilians, nearly 75% of whom were Black, and injured another 400 personnel.
Surviving Black sailors had to pick up the human remains and clear the blast site while white officers were granted leave to recuperate.
The Navy ’s office of general counsel reviewed the military judicial proceedings used to punish the sailors.
