I'm sorry the nuances went over my dozy head.
Just to clarify, I don't like boats with oars, boats with sails, boats that take you cruising or grey boats the navy keep at Portsmouth.
I like naval aviators, especially having been involved in Harrier conversions for a good many some 35 years ago. They organise good parties.
An into wind decel and VL is the gentleman's way to arrive, even if it is on a bloody ship or boat or through-deck cruiser or aircraft carrier (opening shortly).... Got to beat some rodeo cable-catching eyeball popping business.
