In 1967, an accidental rocket launch aboard the supercarrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin resulted in a fire and explosions that killed 134 servicemen. and was survived by John McCain, who later returned to active duty & continued to fly missions until he was captured by the North Vietnamese and subsequently tortured for 5 years until his release.
