1966 USS Oriskany fire

Fire on a US aircraft carrier

On October 26, 1966, a major fire broke out aboard the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Oriskany as a result of a lit flare being locked inside a flare locker. The ensuing inferno killed 44 people, mostly air crew, and injured 156 others. It was the first of three major fires to befall American carriers during the Vietnam War.
