Years ago I taught in a Jr. high school where the coach had served on the
Hornet (aircraft carrier) in WWII in the north Atlantic...his first day at
sea as an assistant in the radio room they sent him out with a bucket to
collect some electrons...
He was mostly blind in one eye from looking into the sun for airplanes on his
tour. He also said it wasn't at all like in the movies...just about every
time they launced the planes they splashed at least one...with no chance of
recovery in the cold water.
