"spread to LCDR McCain's A-4E(I don't where all of this "Wet-Start" SH!T came from)"

I can't find the article anymore, but the first reference to a "wet start" came from the Forrestal's C.O., the day after the fire started. The article was in the NYT, and was written by R.W. Apple, Jr. on July 31, 1967. Captain John K. Beling was quoted as saying:"for some unknown reason, a plane parked near the carrier's island, midway up the 1,045 foot flight deck, experienced an 'extreme wet start."

He was completely wrong about the positioning of the aircraft, but at that point, they were probably still recovering bodies and I'm sure no investigation had even begun, but that's the first recorded reference to a wet start that I have been able to find.

That was an odd thing for him to say since almost none of the planes were near the island.

I’m sure the article has long been scrubbed by Deep State allies of McCain’s.

Trump should lay a wreath on Jeremiah Denton’s grave the same day of McCain’s funeral. Reagan would’ve.
