[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that's an extraordinarily stupid comment given that the ship in question deployed last year.[/quote]

How many planes fell off of carriers before Trump came into office?[/quote]

This is what Grok answered:

Below is a summary of documented incidents where aircraft fell off or were lost overboard from US Navy ships, including dates and key details:

October 26, 1966 – USS Oriskany: Fire on carrier led to aircraft damage; possible overboard losses during chaos. 44 deaths, 156 injuries.

July 29, 1967 – USS Forrestal: Fire caused by rocket ignition damaged/destroyed 21 aircraft; some possibly lost overboard. 134 deaths, 161 injuries.

January 24, 2022 – USS Carl Vinson: F-35C crashed on landing and fell into South China Sea. 1 aircraft lost, 7 injuries, ~$100 million.[/b]

A crash landing is a little different than an unsecured plan falling off the ship, which is what happened the first time. What happened yesterday is somewhere in between a crash and an unsecured plane falling off a carrier.[/quote]

Agree.

Landing on an aircraft carrier is one of the hardest things you can do. An accident doing that is more understandable than letting a sitting plane slide off the carrier.
