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

I hope any replies to your comment are sent to you via PM. I would not like to see this thread turned. Into a political argument.
