People are reading the words "super carrier" and immediately jumping to "Nimitz", and couldn't be farther from the truth.

Compared to a WWII Essex, or a Jeep carrier, she was huge. Compared to a modern carrier, she was about their size.

Yea, she was a small carrier, much like the sorry Sara (Saratoga) and conventional powered.

Former shipmates of mine came over from that carrier and said it was haunted.
They would stand watch down in the main spaces and hear someone calling to "Dc Central, we have a fire going on here and need help!

Thanks for sharing that ghostly twist. Forrestal not only had a fire but explosions from bomb cook offs during which a number of sailors died.
