Also 25th October 1967 - WestPacZuni Rocket Mishap - "The United States Navy disclosed yesterday that an air-to-surface rocket accidentally ignited on the attack carrier the Coral Sea off North Vietnam this week, injuring nine seamen.
Three of the men were critically burned. All nine were flown to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.
The incident occurred Wednesday night while crewmen were assembling the Zuni rocket, used by Navy aircraft raids in Vietnam. The motor ignited and shot the rocket forward about 20 feet into a steel bulkhead.
A spokesman at the Navy fleet headquarters here said the rocket did not explode."
