Oh for cryin out loud...
Grow up..
When I was on the FID ( the First In Defense, USD Forrestal, CV59)... You were warned not to have open flame around the drinking fountains...
You could literally light the drinking water on fire...
Contaminated with aviation fuel...
C’mon...

LOL, being around the Forrestal with a lighter was as dangerous as being around the Kennedy on the bridge of a ship!

Hey, at least the fuel in the water gave you enough energy to perform your duties throughout the day.

The potable water and JP5 pipestands had the same male fitting for UnRep purposes and were near each other on the external O-2 deck of One Guy’s Oliver Hazard Perry class FFG. Color of potable water pipestands was light blue. Color for JP-5 was a middling purple. At twilight, Deck Division couldn’t tell the difference between the two colors.

Guess what happened during UnRep.
