Seventeen crew members were killed in the incident. The wounded were evacuated to several medical facilities for their initial care and then to the military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, and subsequently to the Charette Health Care Center (Naval Medical Center) in Portsmouth, Virginia. There were 35 surviving patients who had sustained 81 total injuries associated with the explosion. The distribution of the injuries included orthopedic, ophthalmologic, soft tissue, otolaryngologic, burns, inhalation, and other miscellaneous injuries. Twenty-seven of the patients were discharged after 24-hour observation. This article reviews the distribution of injuries found in the fatalities and the wounded crew members and the subsequent care required to prepare the military medical community for potential future incidents of this type.

It is compared with F. malhaensis Hadorn et al., 2001, F. colus (Linnaeus, 1758), F. crassiplicatus Kira, 1959 and F. laviniae Snyder & Hadorn, 2006, as well as some fossil species. Post-larval shell growth in the new species is divided into three clear phases.

A new species, Fusinus emmae n. sp., is described, and review of comparable species from the same area is given. The characters of the protoconch are examined, with reference to previously published studies.
