WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION OF IJN HIYŌ? #shorts #history

In 1944, the Japanese carrier Hiyō was training near Guimaras Island when U.S. forces landed in the Marianas, prompting a rush to the Philippines. On June 19, Japan’s airstrikes failed, losing most planes to U.S. defenses. The next day, a U.S. torpedo hit Hiyō’s engine room, sparking fires and a massive explosion from leaking fuel, sinking the carrier with 247 crew members.
