An interesting sidenote that relates the Forrestal and the JFK is that the Forrestal's four propellers became part of the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) during its overhaul from 1993 to 1995. The two anchors from the Forrestal are now part of the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74).
Forgive my ignorance but can someone explain the issue regarding the secrecy of the hull of this carrier?
good info about the props ScubaGypsy. I think they removed the props from the Oriskany before sinking also.
As far as speed goes, all you have to know is the length of the boat at the waterline, then multiply the square root of that number by 1.34. That gives you "hull speed", or the theoritical maximum speed of the hull.
