Exactly. That airframe on an F-15 could not take the pounding of arrested landings. It's just not built for it.

Naval aircraft have sea legs....


Sea Legs was produced by Grumman in 1981. However this still holds true today.

How did such a tiny submarine kill a ship almost fifty times larger than itself? First of all, we don’t know the rules of engagement of the exercise. Were the Roosevelt’s escorts using all of their anti-submarine warfare sensors? Was there any prohibition or curb on their use, or were any of them declared inoperative for the purposes of the exercise?

Generally in these exercises the USN is NOT permitted to use the full gambit of their ASW abilities because of environmental concerns. Certain types of sonar kill sea creatures. In war time things would be different.
