I take your points.

One still has a gut feel that the nature/quality of the touchdown and the sea state at the time are very important to the outcome – for any type.

I also cannot imagine anybody choosing to do a powered landing in the water unless they were full of smoke or literally on fire.

Anybody current on modern types care to comment on their ditching drills?
