No.

As I read it, McCain was being a hotdog and wet started his jet causing the plane behind him to accidentally fire a missile across the deck and drop several bombs at the same time. The ensuing fire burned for several days and nearly sank the Forrestal, 134 sailors died in the incident and 64 more were seriously injured.

McCain has been associated wit responsibility for the event since it happened.

Coincidentally, McCain is the son of one admiral and the grandson of another.
