October Islander Mothership Trip Just Announced! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Those are A-7 Corsair with their wingtips folded. It makes them look a little like a twin tail F-14. The Enterprise flight deck fire (the big one) was in January 1969. More info: http://navysite.de/cvn/cvn65.html

I think the Forrestal fire is the one you are referring to. A start cart set off a Zuni which hit fueled and armed A-4 Skyhawks on the opposite side of the deck.

The Navy suffered three major carrier fires in the late sixties: Oriskany in '66, Forrestal in '67 and the Enterprise in '69. Lessons learned from those fires were incorporated into new damage control procedures, equipment and training. All of the subsequent flight deck fires have been extinguished much more rapidly and with far fewer casualties.
