On July 29, 1967, the formidable USS Forrestal is en route to Vietnam when a catastrophic explosion erupts from a fighter jet. The violent blast sends shockwaves through the carrier, leading to the tragic loss of 134 sailors within a mere 17 hours. Investigations arise to determine the cause—was it enemy action, a mistake by the crew, or a malfunction within the aircraft itself?
