A Moment in the Life of America's Navy
On July 29, 1967, onboard USS Forrestal (CVA-59), a Zuni rocket fires from an F-4B Phantom into an A-4E Skyhawk, sets off a series of explosions and fires that kill 134 and injure 161 crewmembers. Today, Sailors are still taught the damage control and firefighting lessons learned that day.
