In the early 1940s the US Coast Guard trained pilots from the US Navy, the US Army as well as pilots from the British forces. In anticipation of placing helicopters on ships for North Atlantic convoy patrol they devised a three-degree of freedom deck to simulate the pitching, heaving and rolling of a ships deck. All of the pilots had to be qualified on the simulator. Perhaps some commercial training facility should build another one and offer their training services. Also for maximum simulation this one should be mounted on a truck bed or on a large flatbed trailer to simulate the forward movement of the ship.
