==Discovery and name== The Forrestal Range was discovered and photographed on 13 January 1956 on a transcontinental patrol plane flight of [[United States Navy]] [[Operation Deep Freeze]] I from [[McMurdo Sound]] to the vicinity of the [[Weddell Sea]] and return. It was named by the United States [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) after {{USS|Forrestal|CV-59|6}}, first [[supercarrier]] of the U.S. Navy. The entire Pensacola Mountains were mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) in 1967 and 1968 from United States Navy tricamera aerial photographs taken in 1964.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=252}}
