Question

How did the explosion affect the ship​

Answer 1

Answer:

What was the cause of the USS Maine explosion?

Explanation:

Initial reports concluded that Maine had been sunk by a naval mine. Sparking a wave of outrage across the United States, the loss of the ship helped push the nation towards war. Though a later report in 1911 also concluded that a mine caused the explosion, some began to believe that it was the result of a coal dust fire.
