Ever wonder how they test the catapults on carriers? Well here is the answer 😮 ,Yes it is very real. This comes from my USS Bon Holme Richard (CVA-31) collection.
I all so have, somewhere in my collection, a pic of the departing ceramony for a Skipper of a carrier. They sat him in a chair and shot the cat and thus the Captain left the ship. this was latter banned dur to an incident that left someone in a wheel chair and suing the navy for millions! 🙁
