My uncle who served in the Navy, as an AD, knew some of those that died on the Forrestal. I do not know if he served on the Forrestal, but I do remember that he served on both the Oriskany and the Saratoga.

PO2 Rev. Frederick C. Mullis, AFI, CFM - Now wouldn't that be quite a coincidence if my uncle and your brother served together on either the Oriskany or the Saratoga. My uncle's cruise books went up in smoke when his house burned. If your brother ever has the time, he could check for the name Jack Denison. Thanks.

SSG Robert Webster - Unfortunately He is scattered off the coast of Oregon. Diabetes and other respiratory ailments associated with asbestos that the VA would never identify finally killed him. BUT it would not surprise me one bit if they were.
