There was a story circulating in the 70s when our War Canoe was still operational, where some A-4s were invited to do some crashes and dashes on a large US carrier.
The lads loved it, and in return invited the US boys to come and do some on ours. The USN arrived in the circuit, took a look at the size of the boat, said "Y'all gotta be kiddin'!!" and flew back to their boat.
