Fire Aboard USS Lexington


Fire erupted today aboard the USS Lexington in a small room which held old maps and flags, forcing the evacuation of visitors and staff at the decommissioned aircraft carrier that now serves as a museum in Corpus Cristi, TX

The carrier served honorably during World War II and Korea before it was decommissioned in 1991

The fire was quickly put out, it is not known when the museum will reopen to visitors.
