USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) FIRE DURING WESTPAC 88-89 WITH CARRIER AIR WING 9 (CVW-9) ON BOARD. EARLY MORNING OF NOVEMBER 30, 1988 AROUND 2:45 A.M. IN THE ARABIAN SEA.
I WAS WORKING THE FLIGHT DECK THAT NIGHT. FLIGHT OPS HAD ENDED AND THE DECK WAS PREP'D FOR A VERT-REP SCHEDULED FOR IN THE MORNING. I WAS KICKED BACK ON SOME SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, PARKED BEHING THE ISLAND, B.S.ING WITH A COUPLE OF GUYS. WE HEARD THE GUN FIRE, BUT WE NEVER HEARD AN EXPLOSION. NEXT THING WE HEARD WAS THE ALARM AND A FRANTIC VOICE COME ACROSS THE IMC... "FIRE, FIRE, FFFFFIRE ON THE FLIGHT DECK!!" WE JUMPED UP AND WHEN WE CAME AROUND THE ISLAND IT LOOKED LIKE THE ENTIRE BOW WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE ALL RAN TO THE STARBOARD SIDE, TO THE FIRE HOSES AT THE EDGE OF THE ANGLE DECK. WE ALL JUMPED ON A HOSE AND RAN TOWARDS THE FIRE. THE ONLY TIME I THINK ANY OF US THOUGHT ABOUT THE DANGER WE WERE RUNNING INTO WAS WHEN THE EJECTION SEATS WERE GOING OFF. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY WENT OFF, BUT FORTUNATELY THEY ALL LANDED OVERBOARD.
