The Vietnam War is unpopular.  Major US cities have experienced race riots.  The Navy is having trouble recruiting sailors. The USS Kitty Hawk has spent 8 months at sea.  The crew has reached the boiling point.  Captain Townsend (white) and XO Commander Cloud (black)  almost lose control of the carrier that night.  About 50 crew are injured and 3 seriously. Author Gregory Freeman discusses his book Troubled Water about the October 1972 incident on the USS Kitty Hawk with host Jim Fausone.
