places like that. Even with all the push, things still happen. And when they
do, they quickly get big.

Working on the flight deck of the USS Kitty Hawk took some of the same
qualities and who would ever want to work 20+ hrs. on the world's smallest
airport in the middle of the ocean.? I had my share of close calls and so
have my friends. The 3" thick arresting cable snapped when the 113 bird from
VFA-102 came in for a landing at 2200 hrs. for carrier quals. That accident
resulted in a Capt's. Mass of the LT. in charge and it went all the way down
to the E-1.
Another accident that happened on the USS Forrestal was an ordinance
accident, where a missile fired on accident from a jet and it struck another
jet. Then a series of unfortunate events occurred that resulted in the
complete loss of the ship and severe casualties among the rescuers and crew.
