heh heh heh. I hope they actually don't try taking off using the "catapults" on their new aircraft carrier.

The Chinese went one further. They removed the entire flight deck of one of the Russian carriers they bought so they could train their pilots. Not that they are building a huge navy with all aspects or anything.

It does have the advantage of not likely to sink

Turning it into the wind is a bit of a bother though. It does, however, have very little sea movement compared to other carriers making landing somewhat easier. Something other nations could incorporate into their carriers.

I think the French have made a brilliant leap here, consider how many installation crew they have done without. Also, if the carrier is lost, the crew can simply walk away without all that unpleasant drowning/boiled alive stuff going on!

Jokes aside, I like how this is a classic bit of simple solution over a complex juggling of rosters and timetables.

I just hope they are not being tracked by a landsubmarine
