“Perfectly”? Catapults on even a modern carrier (i.e. the product of all those years of development and experience) are still the most maintenance-intensive portion of a carrier’s design, with only the arresting system following close behind. And I’d like to introduce Donny two bits of aviator slang: “hot cat” and “cold cat.” The former rips your bird’s nose wheel off, the latter dumps the whole bird into the drink. Neither scenario is fun and both are still very real scenarios even with 65 years of service. But please, continue to demonstrate to us your absolute ignorance of…well…everything.
