Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that carriers aren’t safe.
Well, the fighter jet's not supposed to fall off, for start.
Well that's why they had to take it out from the environment.
"Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point."
okay, but it wasn't the front that fell off this time 😄 it wasn't even a part if the ship.
Also sounds like the ship was taking evasive action from hostels. They where probably bring up the bird from below deck storage and where getting it ready for the run way and the crew was not ready for the movement. I am sure training will be had from this across the fleet
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
Not safe for the houthis anyway.
