A Naval Court of Inquiry concluded it was highly likely Dorado was sunk by friendly fire. An air attack was made by a PBM Mariner aircraft from Patrol Squadron 210 of Guantanamo Bay which had an incorrect description of a restricted Bomb Area that was designated to protect against such a misidentification. Sadly, it was this error that cost the crew their lives. Carl was from Boise, Idaho
