@zeph9305 Yeah, I was there in '88... I remember this film well.

When I was on the Kitty Hawk, I knew where every space was, and I never had any problem navigating throughout the ship. Good, old Kitty Hawk! Too bad you are decommissioned.

They showed this when I was in greatlakes in 1973 then they took us all out to the mock ship put us inside gave us some hoses and firesuits and lit it on fire and said fight your way out. was a great lesson the sad part is it took 134 lives for the Navy to learn it but our guys are trained well now i'm sure of it.

30 year Naval Aviation vet, recently retired in 2007. This incident and the Nimitz disaster changed how we did business on the flight deck. The people up there failed to realize that you WERE in a combat area each and evey time you were working there. Complacency and and lack of respect for your surroundings would kill you and your shipmates quick.

I remember seeing this in boot camp in 1990. I wonder if they still show it to recruits.
