Enterprise Fire Blamed On Rocket
The Navy reports a fire on the carrier Enterprise began after an air to ground rocket exploded from overheated exhaust from a jet starter cart. Damage fixed at 6.4 million dollars, ship to be out of action under three months, with 27 lives lost. The report notes heat from the cart may have overheated and exploded the Zuni rocket on a wing. The incident follows a 1967 Forrestal fire linked to similar ordnance heat issues and prompts new safety instructions to separate jet starters from ammunition and aircraft.
