| DON'T SHOOT ME TILL THE BOW COMES UP. THE FLIGHT DECK ON A MIDWAY OR ESSEX IS ABOUT 50 FEET ABOVE THE WATER LINE. WHEN THE BOW SCOOPS UP WATER SO DEEP THAT WHEN IT ROLLS DOWN THE FLIGHT DECK AND IS STILL 20 FEET DEEP WHEN IT PASSES THE ISLAND YOU CAN SAY YOU HAVE SAILED IN SOME ROUGH WATERS. BEEN THERE DONE THAT:-) |
