I served on the USS Forrestal from 1977 to 1980. While in boot camp we went through damage control training on a regular basis.

We were shown 3 movies in those days for damage control.

Forrestal fire

Oriskany fire

Enterpise fire

Each one was blamed on something unproven to this date Forrestal disaster was blamed at time on a guy checking voltage on cabling going to the rockets, and that his analog meter had dead batteries

Never heard of McCain at any time or I just don't remember

I had no idea I was headed for the FID at that time

FID?

Sorry, but I was a Army issued M1A1 Gravel Agitator.

Please, what’s a FID?

Thanks.

“I had no idea I was headed for the FID at that time”

Pardon my ignorance, but what is “FID”?
