Was the Oriskany the carrier that had the major accident off the coast of Viet Nam with rockets setting off on the full flight deck?

My vote is for Pensacola - one of my favorite dive destinations, and also with a long history of naval aviation.

They've probably already sold the propellers for scrap, but it is too bad they couldn't have melted them down and stamped a bunch of dollar-sized medallions out of it like they did the 1898 cruiser Olympia. A neat bit of history that I'll bet people would have paid bucks for. I would have.
