In 1944 there was a tremendous explosion at Port Chicago in Contra Costa County. The navy said an ammunition ship had exploded as it was being loaded. More than two 200 sailors were killed. Most were African Americans. One too big to be carried by plane, one designed to be delivered to Japanese port cities by ships remotely controlled or guided by a suicide crew.
