Catapultoutrigger
Hallo,
i noticed that on Nimitz-class-carriers some catapults have on the end of the deck an overhanging outrigger. Other catapults on the same ship donīt have it. I think this thing has something to do with the older startmethod using a sling of steelcable. But i am under the impression that this method fell in disuse in the Navy, so why is it still there and only on some spezial catapults on a ship. Greetings Max
