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.
I was in Norfolk at the time of the fire.
We could see the flames over at D & S piers.
Went over to the main base (via fleet landing) the next day.
Really scary seeing a carrier with a list.
