Watching Top Gun as a kid I always wondered about the broken catapults. I didn't think catapults would be a good weapon against jets. :)

This steam pressure catapult is now nothing compared to the new electromagnetic launch system on the new super carriers.
JoeT85
This catapult 4 off off of a Nimitz class Aircraft carrier. I spend a lot of time on that flight deck
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
How's that electromagnetic catapult coming along?

What you're suggesting is, that we should have somebody modify one of these into the worlds largest crossbow, right?

It’ll get you to the end of the ship in a hurry. What you do from there is up to you.
Coolbacca
probably something with the poop deck, no doubt.
Plurii
No

Please tell me this was taken in the middle of the ocean and not in port.
seamanzilla
There is no rubber seal in the line of the cat, and there are aircraft aboard so 100% underway at sea
twfeline
I like how carrier flight decks are covered in grippy rubber.
RubesCubes
It’s non skid, not rubber. Perfect knee skinning material.
TheBoxLunch
Was stationed on cell block 73. Which ship is this?
therapistgabe
I've spent some time on the GW! What department?
TheBoxLunch
Weapons, security, and AIMD

One some people's last cruise, they shoot their boots off of it and they run down the hot cat barefoot in a Hawaiian shirt.

I wonder how bad was he hurt from that
JunkGrave
Considering it's CGI, I'm gonna go with none. None hurt
bofh420
That isn't an actual competition is it?
Thethingfromtheshadows
You couldn't get half that far in reality. They're springboards not bounce pads

I checked it was a Craftman, NASCAR commercial.

That thing pushes jets.. and they put people?! Are they in half when they hit the water?!? That sounds like some final destination shit.
HEXADECIMAL
I'm guessing they can adjust the speed, think about how much fun that could be in the open ocean flying a hundred yards, with divers nearby.
HEXADECIMAL
The divers would be near just in case.

You underestimate the stupid shit service members do when bored!

Ever sling stupid crap into the ocean with it?

I was thinking getting drunk and launch each other into the World's biggest pool.

The bravest man in that army. Or the dumbest. Sometimes it's hard to tell. Hold my beer.

Tripod
professionalpootalker
Seems unlikely with the movement the camera makes when the projectile falls short
esracoon
seems very likely manned tripod and then operator bailed.
professionalpootalker
Ah yes sorry hadn't thought of that. You're right about that.

A trebuchet can launch 90kg projectiles over 300m.
Bananabeanie
That was while ago.
TheMexicanPenguinII
They still exist, theres one at warwick castle that they use regularly
dade356
