2 deployments aboard the USS George Washington CVN-73.(On the Flight Deck)Thats how I know that one.:dontknow::slug:
Not so much if they can't hit the wires but if:
1. The hook on the aircraft won't come down or
2. Loss of HYD psi for the arresting gear.
All apply for blue water ops only. You could launch a tanker to help a guy reach the beach if he is just short enough.
