My division's (RC-11) berthing compartment was directly over one of the voids that flooded because of the grounding. I heard stories of them sounding the void and never hitting bottom

She's a tough ship. If she could survive multiple MK-82 detonations on the flight deck

a little thing like hitting an undersea mountain wasn't going to stop her.

When was that, dgax?

I saw something else pre/during ('63 guess) Vietnam where one of the F4 turbine blower's --AKA Huffer-- (a mobile starter to get the plane's turbine moving) exhaust cooked one of the F4's rockets causing a chain reaction, including 500#bombs going off on deck.

The planes in your pic seem to be F14's and maybe an A8, definitely post F4.

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.

Zed · 09-30-2008, 12:48 PM

Yeah, my bad.

But thanks for the great info. RIP to those lost in the fires.

McCain almost cashed his chips in on the Forrestal.

Hey Guys I called everybody who still has a remaining balance today and most of you took care of it however I still have 4 people that owe the remaining balance of 275.00. Please give us a call at Point Loma tomorrow 9-5 at 619-758-9531

fndpaddler · 09-30-2008, 09:14 PM

just wanted to say hi to everyone going on the trip. I fish alot with josh (yakrider) and others up in the maibu area. haven't really posted here, but certainly lurk enough to see what's happenin' down south. I'll be on the islander trip and cannot wait. looking forward to meeting you guys. I'm just hoping to have something give me a good sleigh ride in the day and talk about at night with a few cold ones. I think its going to be an epic trip for sure. besides a pelagic which would be awesome, what I'm really hopin' for is to pull on a couple of hog calico at SCI.

anyways, see y'all thursday night.

southboundhound · 09-30-2008, 09:27 PM

I thought the trip needed an a-hole, so I signed up.
I'll have 3 dollars, since that's all I'll need.

bellcon · 10-01-2008, 12:35 PM

ok...
whats LCR???

Holy Mackerel · 10-01-2008, 12:52 PM

L C R is a dice game, it is also known as "Triple Nipple"

Bring your dollars, it is fun way to pass the time...

Zed · 10-01-2008, 12:53 PM

Don't worry, I wondered the same thing before Catapalooza. Just make sure you have 3 $1 bills, and everything will be clear. It's a fun game.

And no, grego isn't on this trip so no pole dancing.
