Navy: 3 injured, 11 missing
after fire aboard submarine
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — An explosion and fire struck
the diesel submarine USS Bonefish off Florida on Sun
day, seriously injuring three sailors and leaving 11 miss
ing, the Navy said. It was not immediately known
whether the blaze had been extinguished.
The Bonefish, one of the last diesel submarines in
service in the Navy, surfaced 160 miles east of Cape Ca
naveral, Fla., where it was on a routine exercise, Cmdr.
Fred Feeder, spokesman for the Atlantic Fleet, said.
Eighteen crew members were transferred to the air
craft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, three in serious
condition, said Lt. Cmdr. Bill Sonntag of the Atlantic
Fleet headquarters in Norfolk.
Sonntag said the submarine, which was also being as
sisted by the frigates USS McCloy and USS Carr, was
believed to have had 100 people aboard, 89 of
had been accounted for. Ships searched for crewmen
Sonntag said.
The 4:30 p.m. fire w r as believed caused by anexplo
sion in the 30-year-old submarine’s battery compan.
ment, Sonntag said. Because of fire and toxic fumes,
the commanding officer ordered the vessel evacuated
he said.
Feeder said the Carr would attempt to towthesuk.

Bonefish’s home port. There apparently was no serious
problem in keeping the Bonefish afloat Sunday eve.
ning. Feeder said.
He said he did not not know whether the submarim
would be abandoned completely.
Najib offers withdrawal
of troops from border
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
President Najib on Monday offered
to withdraw Afghan troops from
their posts near the Pakistani border
if anti-communist guerrillas and Pa
kistan agree to do the same.
“We are ready to create a non-mil
itary line” between Afghanistan and
Pakistan, Najib said at the opening
of celebrations marking the 10th an
niversary of the Afghan revolution
that installed a Soviet-backed gov
ernment.
Najib told an assembly of three
small parties loyal to his government
that such a withdrawal would allow
the estimated 3 million Afghan refu
gees in Pakistan to return home.
May 15 under a U.N.-mediated
agreement signed April 14 in Ge
neva by the United States, the Soviet
Union, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
However, the proposal appeared
to be little more than a face-saving
acknowledgement of the difficulties
the Afghan army is having against
onslaughts by anti-communist guer
rillas, based in Pakistan and supplied
with U.S. and Chinese weapons.
Soviet troops entered Afghanistan
in 1979 to help quell an uprising-by a
guerrilla front.
The Soviet Union has agreed to
start withdrawing its estimated
1 15,000 troops from Afghanistan on
The United States, China and sev
eral other countries have been aid
ing the Afghan guerrillas via Paki
stan. The Soviet Union arms the
Afghan military forces. Each super
power has reserved the right to con
tinue its assistance as long as the
other one does.
The guerrillas, who were not di
rect party to the Geneva accord,
have vowed to continue fighting un
til Najib’s government is over
thrown.
On Sunday, Najib confirmed a
guerrilla claim that the Afghan army
had been pushed out of Barikot, a
key post on the Pakistani frontier.
Barikot, 150 miles northeast of
Kabul, controls a major road leading
into Afghanistan from Pakistan. The
guerrillas said the victory opened a
new, direct supply route for weap
ons into Afghanistan.
The
; guerrillas said Monday they
have taken control of three other
strategic towns in recent weeks.
