TC.....let's take it very slowly so you might grasp what is being said.
It was not a standard deck landing.
The aircraft landed short of the deck.
The landing gear got hung up in the deck edge skirting preventing the aircraft from maintaining controlled flight.
With the landing gear tangled as it was.....the aircraft rolled over on its side as it departed the deck.
Alongside per UK method or a Standard USN approach would not have allowed this to happen.
Crapsakes....you have a video to watch to see what happened AND you are the one that posted it.
Watch it again......carefully......perhaps you can accept that it was not a standard approach in any regard.
You do see the two SEAL Assault Craft following the Helicopter to the Ship...right?
That give you a clue as to what was going on in that evolution?
It was a fast aggressive approach and attempted landing that went all wrong.
It has nothing to do with "Standard" in the manner you wish to apply that concept.
When you do a Direct Action Assault....pull up alongside the Target and wait for the ship to enter whatever the hell you called it.....when assaulting a vessel with armed terrorists aboard and see how long you last.
Why can you not just accept the RN does it one way and the USN. uses a different method.
I submit they each have reasons for doing what they do that are valid to each.
Of course you will not want to argue who does more of these things.....considering the size of the two fleets and its associated helicopter force.
