Keep it coming WEBF. Someone has to educate those who don't yet understand why a capability as complex as carrier operations cannot just be allowed to lie 'fallow' for several years. The knowledge and expertise being gained by FAA personnel serving with other navies is already being fed into the project to inform 'whole ship' system design and enhancement, tactical development, establishing shipboard drills and procedures, planning upkeep and maintenance, authoring technical and operational documentation, training design, etc, etc. It's not simply a case of training pilots to fly aircraft from a moving deck.
