An amphibian that sank?
Grumman-581 wrote: "Flyingmonk" wrote in message ups.com... I saw a head-on picture of a carrier and boy did it look top heavy... The point of no return on a carrier is about 15 degrees, if I remember correctly... For one of the Spruance class destroyers, it's around 60 degrees... At full speed, a ship should be able to apply full rudder deflection and not go past the point of no return... I knew a guy once who said that he was on a DD that was pulling 55 degrees as it made it back to Norfolk -- light fuel load, storm off the coast, etc... You basically have to strap yourself to your rack to sleep... sleep? Are you kidding?
