Excerpt from"For Crew and Country: The Inspirational True Story of Bravery and Sacrifice Aboard the USS Samuel B Roberts, by Ralph Echtinaw
Machinist Mate Chalmer Goheen rushed to the gun turret to find Carr holding the last shell, his body ripped from neck to groin, trying to load the gun once more. Goheen took the 54-pound shell from Carr, sat him down and started checking the other wounded men. A minute later Carr was trying again to load the last shell. Goheen carried Carr to the deck where five minutes later he died. All told, 90 of the Roberts 224 officers and men died in the battle or from exposure in the ocean.
