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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
