Plane lost engine power due to fire (as noted by flames at aft part of engine exhaust). Pilot pulled a slip to put out fire but plane was left incapacitated as noted by locked prop (prop is not bent, thus not spinning). Plane needed to emergency land on aircraft carrier (note the canopy is open, standard emergency procedure). Carrier, not designed for this aircraft put out ropes as there was no tail hook or perhaps tail hook was damaged. Plane lands hard landing (as no go around without an engine) and damages landing gear (and possibly hook). Right Landing gear and belly tank snared by ropes, plane catapulted up by final rope. Pilot lives to tell the tale?
