I noticed that there is no record of the fire that occurred the first night out of San Diego en route to Hawaii on the 77-78 West-Pac.
There was no loss of life but if my memory serves me right, we were dead in the water for about 10-12 hours.
The fire started in the wire racks located in a compartment used by Mar-Det to store our gear. Said wire racks connected the bridge to the engine rooms.
Does anyone else remember this fire?
