Image of Christening

[edit]
Sgt Lena Mae Basilone, USMC(WR), widow of John Basilone, prepares to christen the destroyer USS Basilone (December 21, 1945)

Should this image be included in the article?

1973 Boiler Explosion

[edit]

In the article it says:

"On the afternoon of 5 February 1973, while she conducted underway training off the Virginia Capes, a boiler explosion killed seven of Basilone's crew."

The New York Times says:

"13 Sailors Die in Boiler Blast at Sea."

REF: Robert Hanley. - February 6, 1973. - Page 73

Which is right?
