The U.S.S. Forrestal makes its last voyage.

My step father served aboard The Forrestal back in 1967 when an accidental detonation of a WWII era bomb set off a chain reaction that killed more than 100 sailors.  Fires burned for 3 days on the ship.
Now, after more than 38 years of service, she has been sold for scrap.
