The Navy’s second-oldest aircraft carrier, commissioned in 1977, is undergoing maintenance at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Va.
“On April 14, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower experienced a small fire that was immediately contained and extinguished by ship’s force and Norfolk Naval Shipyard personnel, who responded swiftly as trained,” the Navy said in a statement. “Three sailors were treated by ships medical and returned to full duty,” The Stars and Stripes Newspaper reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
