It happened in 1972 on the USS Kitty Hawk, one of the world’s most accomplished aircraft carriers, with a long, storied history. Wild mobs running through the huge carrier, tearing innocent young sailors out of their bunks, beating them mercilessly, threatening to take over the whole ship. Marines eager to stop the violence but reluctant to fire on their fellow American servicemen.
And in the middle of it all – the two senior officers who will determine whether this already tragic episode ends peacefully or spirals down into one of the darkest moments in Navy history. Together – and sometimes separately, sometimes in spite of each other – they must find a way to end the violent race riot that threatens one of the world’s most powerful aircraft carriers.
Watch for Troubled Water in the summer of 2009.
