...I was taking a look at some of the books at Border's today when I noticed an interesting paperback written by the chief firefighter on board the Forrestal during the explosion. Now in a usual day, I'll think of probably ten or twenty ideas to pitch (most of them run through one end of my head and out the other side) but I don't usually write them down as they're not that well thought out.
But just for shits and giggles...let's suppose the VPAF (purely by chance) sent out two or three MiG-17s or -19s that were crossing the beach outbound towards the Forrestal at the time of the explosion.
Or if you don't like that, then let's say that there's...say...SIX MiG-19s heading inbound towards the Forrestal at the time, making an attempt to push the CAP around but not realizing they've actually just stumbled upon a stricken carrier.
