“. McCain’s tail was hanging over the flight deck, towards the sea; so how could a wet start on his part set off a Zuni rocket on the other side of the carrier?”

Right here proves you have no idea what a wet start is. When you find out you will be enlightened. It doesn’t matter whether the tail was hanging over the side or not. And once you find out what a wet start is you will also know why it is not only frowned upon, but pilots get in trouble for doing them.
McCain is a murderer and a traitor not just for the Forrestal Fire but also for what happened in Hanoi Hilton.
You don't even understand your own conspiracy theory. The whole point of the McCain's-wet-start-caused-the-disaster theory was that a big jet of flame cooked off a rocket on an aircraft behind McCain's. One can only believe this if you have no idea where the aircraft were positioned and where the rocket came from. That's why the fact that McCain's ass was pointed off the deck matters.
Show me the testimony of anyone who stated they saw McCain have a wet start at that time. You can't.
Explain how a wet start on one side of a carrier caused a missile launch from the other side of the carrier. You can't.
I know McCain didn't cause the Forrestal fire because he's still alive. I'm supposed to accept the idea that it was a common belief in the Navy that McCain was directly responsible for the deaths of 134 sailors and no one tossed him off the back of the Oriskany, one dark night, in the three months before he was shot down? Officers were getting fragged for far less in the Army at that same time. Maybe they were more tolerant in the Navy...
Yeah, I know - cover-up.
