Wardner said: (quoted from post at 22:59:42 12/19/09) I went aboard the Forrestal to see my brother when the ship was in Newport News for a short refit. That probably would have been late spring of '66. I was stationed about 150 miles away at Camp Lejeune, NC. He took me all around the ship. A few months later, I spent three months on LST 1177. I think that was its first deployment.
It was later that Sen John McCain had one of his (four ?) accidents on board.
Yes, The incident with McCain is the one that 134 men were killed in. That is why i am building this memorial, its to honor these men who have been forgotten. Forrestal is now sitting at Newport, RI waiting to be sunk or scrapped.
