I was a 21 year old fire control computer repair instructor in the Army stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, about to be sent to VietNam.

I visited APG once. Pretty neat place. I got a lot of good pictures of tanks and other things. My father was a gunner on a tank destroyer in WWII.

That well explains how she got the nickname the USS Forest Fire. If memory serves me correctly, she was being decommissioned soon after I joined in 74.

That “nickname” is not appreciated by those of us who were there.
Forrestal was decommissioned in 1993.
