My understanding is that the "C-4" on the Bravo line of the spot report is a reference to the condition of the boat according to some code or schedule the Navy used, not to a type of explosive. |

Great catch EODARMY! I've all looked at this stuff too much to see things clearly. No doubt he wrote it. He may parse and nuance his way out of it again and the MSM may convince some that he did not. But, he wrote it and we know it.

One thing that would help would be to find the Naval guidance for completing the casualty report. For example, here is a Marine guidance document for various types of recon reports, which clearly describes the information required in the "alpha", "bravo", etc. sections of the report:
