t’s perhaps best known for a 1967 incident in which stray voltage triggered an accidental explosion that struck a plane on the flight deck whose cockpit was occupied by a young John McCain.
Huh, I’ve heard he was hot dogging on the flight deck, but never heard the ‘stray voltage’ comment. Of course, everything needs to be grounded - period - aboard ship.
USN, CTT3, 1988-1992
The true reason that a rocket went streaking across the deck from one plane to another will never be known.
