Was the F-14 was canned in the end because it was requiring too much maint per flying hour? I suppose if your doing carrier ops you don't want the second wave to go u/s on the flight deck and block the first wave from landing.

Perhaps you might consult with someone who understands Carrier Flight Ops.

That is not going to happen for any number of reasons. The aircraft might go U/S but they will not block the landing area of the Carrier.

Even if they were for some reason....they would go over the side in order to clear the Deck.
