In the late 1950s even when we were moored at the quay in Yokosuka the SIOP
had us being catapulted with full fuel load and shape. Never tried it for
real of course but if the gong had ever been struck we would have learned
quickly that it was definitely possible to catapult aircraft from a moored
carrier. Our concern as pilots was if we could do it and fly away!
