Okay....my son was stationed aboard the USS Enterprise during its final major overhaul and next to last cruise.
He was assigned to security since there wasn't any avionics repair being done. He was roaming the boat with another guy near the stern when they heard voices. They closed a passageway until they came to the very last door...yes...it was on the port side...the voices were modest behind that door.
Background info. Many years ago there was a fire on the flight deck near the stern. The fire burned through the deck into the area below. Quite a few Sailors were killed. The area behind this door is below where the fire was. They opened the door and the voices stopped. This area was empty-it was not being used.
They both looked at each other and the guy turned to my son and said he had wanted to tell someone but thought they would consider him nuts.
He then told a story about being on the flight deck and running into a pilot. They talked for a bit and went on their ways.
Going below he saw a picture of the pilot he was talking to. The pilot died in that fire.
