The only time one of our carriers was almost taken out that I know of was the fire on the Enterprise in 1969. That was caused by bombs on the flight deck.
It was the USS Forrestal not not the Enterprise that had the fire in 1967. John McCain was on the flight deck when it happened.

Doesn’t matter. A couple of years back a Chinese sub got behind one of our carriers and let us know they did.
That event was a game changer.

The USS ENTERPRISE also had a major fire in that same year, not as bad as the USS FORRESTAL.
