That Carrier in the film was the USS Forrestal (CVA-59). I served on her from 1955-1959.
It sure brought back some pleasant memories. Thanks for posting.

@tailspin37 my dad served on same time he remembers when they first took her out for the shake down run and broke one of the main shafts.
@richardsmith123money That's great. Him and I were crew mates. I was a radioman on her. We had about 3500 men on board; too many to get to know everybody. Tell your dad that an old crew mate said hello.
