Summary
| Description |
English:
A new, major development in carrier fire prevention occurred on 26 May 1969 when the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS
Franklin D. Roosevelt
(CVA-42) put to sea from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia (USA), after an 11-month overhaul which included installation of a deck edge spray system using a new seawater compatible fire-fighting chemical, Light Water. This development was a direct outcome of the fire aboard the USS
Forrestal
(CVA-59) in 1967.
