Re: Cover Up?

There is a J A Fischer on page 254 of the 67-68 cruise book. He was in the V-4 division which is part of the ships Air department. He was an E-3 rating at the time this picture was taken. I remember that some casualties were done at some point in the forward av gas pumping station due to a gas leak that happened while we were at sea. Don't remember the dates but I don't think it was at a time when we were in a combat zone so it would have not been considered a casualty of the war. I do remember that a few people did die but it was not broadcast ship wide at the time. I was interested because this had been my GQ station when I first went on board the Kitty Hawk.
