The Navy acknowledged that it found jet fuel in the drinking water aboard the carrier USS Nimitz.
Sailors previously told Insider that the situation was far worse than what the service initially revealed.

A new investigation says that no one realized a water tank was polluted with jet fuel for more than a year.
 
An unused water tank on a US Navy aircraft carrier was polluted with jet fuel for at least 17 months before anyone realized it, a newly released investigation said. The crew found out when they connected it to the drinking water system.
