Carmichael.  About ten minutes after the explosions, Carmichael heard a rumor spreading that the ship was sinking.  He took to the public address system and gave a speech that matches anything of Ceasar's in strength and valor: "This is the chief engineer speaking.  This ship is not sinking.  It is not in any danger of sinking.  And it will not sink.  So put your minds at rest on that."   Two days later, Bunker Hill made the largest mass burial at sea in Navy history to this day, 352 officers and men were put into the sea about 380 miles southeast of Naha Town.
