"After the disaster, survivors were ordered to resume loading munitions at a nearby depot without any improvements to safety or additional training. Fearing for their lives, 258 Black soldiers were refused to return to work. They were threatened with severe punishment, and most of them relented. But 50 men, later known as the Port Chicago Five, continued to refuse. The Navy charged these 50 men with mutiny, which is a grave offense. It implies a conspiracy to overthrow military authority."
