The USS Forrestal is scraped but the memory is forever of the sacrifices made.
We Don’t Say His Name.
Bad singing, but shows on your part an encouraging turn towards videos of the less-crazy type.
Let the dead lie. Even if it was his fault (which it wasn’t) he did much more damage to our nation after he returned home from war.
"The Hotshot"
Nick named the “Forrest Fire” because of how often it caught fire.
Also called the U S S Zippo. I served aboard her in ‘76 when our squadron (VQ-2) deployed there with our A-3 recon aircraft. They would show that accident video every day on CCTV during General Quarters.
Yes, first saw that clip in boot camp in early 1975. Served aboard the South Carolina through 1981. Thank you for serving.
Same to you.
July, ‘67.
I was just out of high school.
Thanks for your comment and you are starting to old, LOL.
