I have two books by pilots that were on the Franklin.
One was aloft during the attack & was diverted to another CV where they took his plane & sent him home,
The other guy was aboard, but both their stories were the same. They had armed, fueled planes all over the place & the resulting fast chain reaction made containment near impossible (probably tough to figure out which attack was responsible for which damage too). Apparently there were a lot of Tiny Tim rockets in those fires too...OMG rockets the size of torps witha 500lb warhead is a BIG firecracker
