A lucky hit on the catapults or arrestor gear and it's off to the
shipyard

As if luck can always be relied upon...


You can't *rely* on it, but you have to plan for it. Because **** happens
when you least expect it.

It's called "worst case scenario" or "Murphy's law"; you have to plan to
suffer it.


Sounds like you might be interested in the "what if" books. They're
collections of short essays by different authors. Example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If%3F_(essays)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If%3F_2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_I...erican_History


I have quite a few, but many are so outlandish they might as well be
pure science fiction. Besides when have stuff happen in real life like
"lone torpedo dropped by obsolete in a near storm hits rudder", who
needs that kind of fiction?...
