Storyline

While awaiting the conversion of an aircraft carrier of the US Navy into a museum ship, inspectors discover the skeleton of an aviator lieutenant inside a previously sealed void compartment. Harm and Mac investigate in Alameda; Bud and Harriet research in Washington and continue to check out each other. Harm has some unusual experiences aboard the ship, and Mac strikes up a friendship with a local detective. The inspectors appear to have sought something other than rust. Harm finds an important book, which contains a clue about the whereabouts of his father. The local detective turns out to be someone else instead, and the book disappears. Webb lends a hand and says something nice.

Goofs

It is stated that Harm's father made at least one cruise on the Hornet. Not if he was flying F-4 Phantoms. As with the Ticonderoga, F-4's never flew off either ship. The Phantom was just too heavy. The flight decks of the Essex class carriers could not handle that kind of weight.

Quotes

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Somebody took that chain down.
Sibby Lonegro: Who? There's nobody on board but us.
[a ghostly metallic moan echoes through the ship]
Sibby Lonegro: [snickering] Maybe the 'old girl' did it. Doesn't like you pokin' around in her innards.
Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: You're the one that wants to cut her into razor blades.
Sibby Lonegro: You're right. Maybe it's me she's after. Oooh... I better get out of here before I have an accident.
