Looks like they put the fire out OK.

The fire was put out on the Forrestal, as well. Doesn't mean the training film is portraying it as an example of a perfectly executed job. Had to watch that film at least once a year. And I was a shore duty sailor.

I kinda like this line:

Quote

As they filled the upper decks, the ship became more and more top-heavy. Afraid that the ship would capsize, Vladimir Yourkevitch, her designer, suggested that the sea***** be opened so the vessel could settle evenly into the mud. Admiral Andrews, the Navy's man in charge of putting the fire out just told Yourkevitch that "This is a Navy job!"

Doh!

Wonderful Yurkevich's masterpiece.
