Summary[edit]

Description
English: 330-PS-8623 (USN 709972): USS Forrestal (CVA 59) with its air group embarked while on maneuvers with the Sixth Fleet. The wide white line running diagonally across the flight deck is used by landing aircraft to aid lining up for landing. Landing and launching may be accomplished simultaneously on the Navy’s latest “flat tops,” greatly increasing the ships operating efficiency. The propeller driven AD Skyraiders on the forward flight deck, famous for low support work during the Korean War, are used for anti-submarine warfare and low altitude by the fleet. Photograph released October 21, 1957. (12/16/2014).
