Worked with most of the battle group in the top pic while attached to the USS David R. Ray DD971. Check out the story of the ships name sake. Dude was an enlisted stud and MOH recipient, posthumously.

Dear smart arse,
Mathematically, it's very close at that speed
Maybe 15% more and you're cooking with fire.

I remember being out on deck at night and not being able to see my hand in front of my face.

I was a member of our " Crash&Smash" team. I took many a short nap in the dark on the fantail.

How do they secure the aircraft on the carriers if they are heading into rough seas? some of those look like they are 10 feet or so from falling off.
If you are truly going into rough seas most of the planes will be brought below deck and all will be tied down with these below, by the line rats below, with the tie down chains... Been there... CV-66 USS America (VA-85), CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt (VA-65) - A-6 Intruders
We only had 1 woman on any aircraft carrier I was ever on 1991 to 1994, but I'm sure they are everywhere now...
