AIRCRAFT CARRIER
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Flames lq Engulf Ranger After Myste-

Loss Seen

Norfolk, Va, July 13.-(AP)-A
mysterious explosion followed bv a
,solld sheet OF flame, engulfed the
navy's aircraft carrier Ranger from
water line to flight deck Wednesday
and left in its wake tangled mass
OF burned machinery and a black
charred hull
Narrowly escaping death or seri-
Gus injury were seven navy enlisted
\ men who, warned blythe explosion,
scurried to safety within the hull Of
:; the $50, 900, 900 vessel, now at Nor
folk yard undergoing minor repairs
and overhaul.
The seven men apparently were
not seriously injured by the explo-
sion or fire. They were given first
aid treatment aboard the Ranger
and their condition tonight was re-
ported as satisfactory. Ranger Of
ficers said they suffered chiefly from
exhaustion and, shock.
Speculate On Cause
According to officers of the big
,plane carriers the circumstances sur
rounding the explosion and fire are
ia complete mystery. No conjecture
was given as to the cause of the fire.
One officer at the navy yard said
that "$50,000 will probably cover
the damage. However, there is much
expensive machinery aboard the ship
which may have been ruined by the
blaze If this is the case it will be
impossible to determine the damage
at this time"
