Final Mission of EN2 George R. Weaver Jr.

On November 1, 1966, MSB-54, a U.S. Navy minesweeper boat, was engaged in a routine chain drag sweep along the east bank of the Long Tau River in Gia Dinh Province, RVN, when it was sunk by a large, moored, command-detonated mine. The 4:20 AM explosion took place four and one-half miles downstream from Nha Be. Two U.S. Navymen, SA Thomas M. Moore and EN2 George R. Weaver Jr., lost their lives. Four other crewmen were rescued. The mine explosion demolished the minesweeper from the bow to the after bulkhead of the pilothouse. The enemy then opened fire on the disable craft from both banks of the river, firing 57mm recoilless rifle rounds and heavy automatic and small arms fire. Approximately four minutes after the mine explosion, MSB-54 sank bow first, screws still turning, in 42 feet of water. EN2 Weaver was forward below decks at the time of the explosion. No identifiable remains were recovered. It was believed at the time that Weaver could not have survived, and he was placed in a category of Killed in Action/Body Not Recovered. At 10:00 AM on November 3rd, the body of SA Moore was recovered from the Long Tau River. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and pownetwork.org]
