We were shown the film in boot camp in 1969. And we all received fire training. I now wonder if it was because of the Forrestal fire.
They learned a lot from the Forrestal fire, many damage control practices were changed or updated to reflect the lessons learned.
Very similar to our disastrous naval engagements in the Solomons where we got our asses kicked (even while dishing it out) and learned many lessons that saved lives and ships as we went forward in the war.
Some were simple lessons, like scraping layers of paint down to a minimum layer (Pre-WWII, it wasn’t just a joke that some ships seemed held together by deep layers of paint, there WERE thick layers. But when fires started early in the war, that paint created poisonous conflagrations that killed men and made it nearly impossible to extinguish them. So after that, the fleet put men to work removing extraneous layers of paint.
They also got rid of a lot of linoleum deck covering, and overstuffed furniture in various compartments as well.
Some changes were doctrinal...I believe that is when they developed fog nozzles, as the found that standard fire hoses could not extinguish flames as well.
They also observed many ships were lost that could have been saved with more perseverance, so Captains were given additional warning not to give up the damage control efforts too early, and to keep at it as long as the vessel could stay afloat)
