First in Defense – USS FORRESTAL – CVA 69United States Navy – Vietnam War PatchUnited States Navy Aircraft Super Carrier – CVA 59 Measures – 4 x 3.4 inches (10 x 8.5 cms) USS FORRESTAL – CVA-59 – Supercarrier USS Forrestal (CV-59) (later CVA-59, then AVT-59), was a supercarrier named after the first Secretary of Defense James Forrestal. Commissioned in 1955, she was the United States’ first completed supercarrier, and was the lead ship of her class. The other carriers of her class were USS Saratoga, USS Ranger and USS Independence. She surpassed the World War II Japanese carrier Shinano as the largest carrier yet built, and was the first designed to support jet aircraft. The ship was affectionately called « The FID », because her namesake was the first Secretary of Defense, FID standing for « First In Defense ». This is also the slogan on the ship’s insignia and patch. She was also informally known in the fleet as the « USS Zippo » and « Forest Fire » or « Firestal » because of a number of highly publicized fires on board, most notably a 1967 fire in which 134 sailors died and 161 more were injured. In June 1967, Forrestal departed Norfolk for duty in waters off Vietnam. In the Gulf of Tonkin on 29 July, Forrestal had been launching aircraft from her flight deck. For four days, the planes of Attack Carrier Air Wing 17 flew about 150 missions against targets in North Vietnam from the ship. On 29 July 1967, during preparation for another strike, a Zuni rocket installed on an F-4 Phantom (#110), misfired, impacting an armed A-4 Skyhawk’s side #405, parked on the port side. The rocket’s impact dislodged and ruptured the Skyhawk’s 400-gallon external fuel tank. Fuel from the leaking tank caught fire, creating a serious conflagration that burned for hours, killing 134, injuring 161, destroying 21 aircraft and costing the Navy US$72 million. On the flight deck that day was Lieutenant Commander (later Senator) John McCain Forrestal served for nearly four decades in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific. She was decommissioned in 1993, and made available as a museum. Attempts to save her were unsuccessful, and in February 2014 she was towed to Brownsville, Texas, to be scrapped. Scrapping was completed in December 2015. Normal 0 false false false EN-AU JA AR-SA For your kind Consideration.
