On November fourteenth, nineteen forty-three, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was aboard the battleship USS Iowa on his way to a critical World War Two meeting with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin.

By pure luck, the torpedo veered off course and exploded at a safe distance. One small mistake almost altered the course of world history. This is the unbelievable true story of how a training exercise nearly became a presidential assassination during World War Two.
