I toured the Forrestal in Mayport when I was in high school in the 1970s. After spending a day on a carrier, I became a submariner when I joined the Navy. :-)
Both my submarines got cut up for scrap more than a decade ago (except for the reactor compartments which are buried in Washington).

I toured her when she was in Pearl in 1985. Only carrier I have ever been aboard. I toured the USS Bowfin that same day.

That’s the only reason I know the Forrestal.
Thank you Senator McCain

Trial by Fire. That was the name of the training film they showed us at RTC Orlando. It’s on youtube.

My older brother was on the Forrestal when it exploded. I remember it well,although he doesn’t talk much about it...

Many of our allies could use a first or another carrier, yet we keep scrapping these. Why?

Today I feel old.
I remember well when this ship first went to sea...It was on every newsreel and yes, in black and white on TV!

The Forrestal has been one of my favorites since I was a young boy and put together a plastic model of it. Toured the Ranger CV-61 when it was in Pearl Harbor.
