The explosion set off fires and additional explosions across the flight deck. 27 sailors were killed and an additional 314 sailors were injured. The fire destroyed 15 aircraft, and the resulting damage forced Enterprise to put in for repairs at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Hawaii.       Black smoke rises from USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) in the aftermath of a fire that occurred while she was underway conducting air operations near Hawaii on January 14, 1969. The massive fire started when a Zuni rocket accidentally exploded under the wing of an F-4 Phantom II.  with CVW-9 embarked - March 1969  with CVW-9 embarked - March 1968  with CVW-9 embarked - returning to Alameda, California - May 1967  with CVW-9 embarked - Gulf of Tonkin - May 1967  with CVW-9 embarked - Gulf of Tonkin - May 1967  hangar deck with aircraft of CVW-6 - September 1964  Operation Sea Orbit: On 31 July 1964, USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) with CVW-6 embarked (bottom), USS Long Beach (CGN-9) (center) and USS Bainbridge (DLGN-25) (top) formed "Task Force One," the first nuclear-powered task force, and sailed 26,540 nmi (49,190 km) around the world in 65 days.   with CVG-6 embarked - February 1963  with CVG-6 embarked - February 1963  with CVG-6 embarked - Mediterranean Sea - October 1962  with CVG-6 embarked - 1962  Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - February 1962  with CVG-1 embarked - January 1962  1960  christening ceremony at Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company - September 24, 1960  construction at Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company - 1959  construction at Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company - 1959  information graphic - 2011 |
