Great video on carrier ops
At least maintaining the Catapults will be less a burden!

Installations on the Flight Deck
Apparently now the: "The Integrated Catapult Control Station (ICCS)" or 'the bubble' less thrilling indeed otherwise a "Remote Station" can be used. Photo of an 'ick' below:

Do modern carrier still use a holdback pole thing or what is the modern replacement. When the aircraft is hooked up to the catapult, engines at military thrust or whatever, brakes off, what stops the plane moving off.

'THING' the navysite.de above (rptd below) link has good info:
Installations on the Flight Deck
Various old aircraft had bits and pieces to hold 'em before they fold 'em. Some even failed prematurely which was never nice. But that is another story altogether.... In these 'suckbackintheholdback' cases the actual 'THING' hand poppin' up would have been nice:

Pusser has done none of this.
RN is asleep on the training of the flight deck crews - hardly surprising looking at the state of the FAA, but its very true (I know)!
Where's the new dummy deck going to be?
When do they start training with it? (When do they start building it?).
Answers from a FAA staff officer please (!!).

So did Big F tell the Captain a porky? "Well Sir, if we launch the 1030 serial at 1045...."
Then Big F says to Little F, "We have to delay the 1030 serial by 30 minutes...."
