Rumor has it amidst the fire, some bad things happened. Looting of the dead and summary justice adding to the death toll. Ship life on Forrestal, Kitty Hawk and Midway in Viet Nam era was conflicted.

I was on the USS Valley Forge in that era, off the coast of Nam. The Valley Forge was a WW2 carrier that was re-fitted as an LPH. We had a crew in the thousands along with thousands of Marines.
There were no problems... Why would it be different on other cariers? I would say the “rumors” are wrong.
