Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Black smoke rises from the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) in the aftermath of a fire that occurred while she was underway conducting air operations near Hawaii (USA) on 14 January 1969. The massive fire started when a Zuni rocket accidentally exploded under the wing of an F-4. Some of the subsequent 18 explosions were 500-lb. bombs cooking off in multiples, leaving 20-foot holes in the armored flight deck. Losses totalled 28 dead, 343 wounded, and 15 aircraft destroyed.
