Yes it is. My heating and A/C man was on the Forrestal the day it happened. He was a deck crewman. He knew McCain but not personally. Anyway, he said after it happened and smelling burnt flesh for days as they limped to port for repairs, they offered the guys steaks for dinner upon their arrival. He said no one would eat it as it reminded them of the burning flesh of crew members. Quite a mess it was.
