The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CVA-59) catapults a North American FJ-3 Fury from Fighter Squadron 21 (VF-21) "Mach Busters" from a midships catapult, during shakedown operations, 12 March 1956. Another FJ-3 of VF-21 and a McDonnell F2H-2P "Banshee" of Composite Squadron 62 (VC-62) Det. 42 "Fighting Photos" are being readied for launching from the bow catapults. Both squadrons were assigned to Air Task Group 181 (ATG-181) aboard the Forrestal for her shakedown cruise to the Atlantic Ocean from 24 January to 31 March 1956.
