TLDR The jet fuel leaks from pipes into the local water supply and has caused various issues including children's teeth and hair falling out.

Bad headline but not very onioney.

I served aboard the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. We long suspected cross contamination in the drinking water.

No joke, you could smell it when showering. Shitty Kitty definitely had some cross contamination.

It wouldn't matter if the commanding officer gave two shits about anyone in his command.

Wait till you see NAS Lemoore, Oceana, or any carrier. If this report shocks you, wait till you get a load of those!

This is why I gave it up. Also farting near a camp fire was quite dangerous.

More of a farting with hair spray and a lighter type of guy myself

For those who were expecting some weird sailor cultural thing around consumption of fuel based on the headline and were summarily disappointed, I will gently nudge you to Google "Torpedo Juice", and I promise you will get something closer to what you were expecting from this article.

Friend of mine served on the USS Enterprise. Said the water always tasted like JP-5. Nice.

This literally just happened to the USS Nimitz. I’m not positive it’s been completely resolved.
