Naval Aviators...........so you need not worry next time you get on an airliner.
First time I landed at Male, Maldives one night, nothing but 2 lines of runway lights in a black void of ocean, and as we rolled out I remarked that I hadn't enjoyed that one bit. A quiet voice from a supernumary pilot at the back of the flight deck said " now you know what it's like landing on a carrier at night!"
