Napalm Targeted Oil Tanker Off Oregon Coast
Demolition experts used napalm and plastic explosives in an attempt to set fire to the grounded 639 foot Japanese owned freighter New Carissa off Coos Bay Oregon. The plan aimed to burn bunker oil to prevent a beach spill as a storm loomed. Navy experts joined the operation to crack fuel tanks and release the oil, hoping it would burn away from the ship.
