About CVA-59 Media

The story behind the name.

A family connection to the USS Forrestal, carried into the conversations and stories we make today.

CVA-59 / USS Forrestal

A name with a history.

CVA-59 was the hull designation of the USS Forrestal. Justin Holden’s grandfather served aboard the ship as an E-9 Master Chief. The name honors that family connection and gives this work a sense of purpose: make room for people’s stories and explain the subjects that matter to them.

That history is personal. CVA-59 Media carries the name forward through interviews, hosting and educational productions.
