In the early morning, two Neptunes of the Navy based at Quonset Point NAS were engaged in an anti-submarine warfare exercise off Block Island with the submarine USS Piper (SS-409) and the navy tug USS Hopi (AFT-71). Shortly after 0400LT, both aircraft rendezvoused over the Jamestown Bridge in Narragansett Bay, and headed for the operational area about 70 miles off Block Island. In unknown circumstances, the airplane banked right and then crashed into the sea. All eight crew members were killed.
