Ken is the proud father of one daughter and two sons and is the grandfather of three wonderful grandchildren. Twenty-two years ago, Ken began a journey to write the story of the Forrestal fire. All aboard that day vividly remember what they experienced. Here in this book, Ken has joined their shared experiences into one story. Ken takes the reader along with his fellow crew members as they first experience a surprising accidental rocket launch, then billowing smoke, and then all-consuming fire. And then the first one-thousand-pound bomb explodes high-order. Men were burned, injured, and kill in this most tragic event. You will be with these brave men in real time as they risk life and limb to rescue their shipmates, battle the raging flames, and save their ship.view less
