Just in case anyone wanted to know...Ships do not have walls and roofs/ceilings or floors.:rolleyes:

Ships have;
ceilings/roof = overhead
floor= deck
walls= bulkhead
door= door like a door in a home:eek:
Door=..in the deck is a hatch.

On a USN CVN 'the roof' is slang for flight deck.

Bed= bunk
Foot locker= trunk
Cafeteria= mess
Johnny= head
Sailor= squid
Marines= Jar Head or Leatherneck
First Division= deck apes
DD= Tin Can

What am I missing?

Baffles: (Submarines) The area directly aft of a submarine in which she cannot hear because of the screw's turbulence in the water and the lack of ship mounted hydrophones in that immediate area.

Bag: Full complement of fuel in an aircraft.

In the interests of gender equality, the female USN contingent really need to start coming up with their own list of (overwhelmingly derogatory) Boat-related terms for their male counterparts. Seems only fair. ;)

When did PLAN planes start being able to take off without a ski jump from a carrier?
It's not a touch and go since it doesn't have it's arresting hook down either.

It is either a touch and go or a fly by. They will not put the hook down on a touch and go or a fly by. They do not want to catch a wire in those cases.

The US does the same thing.

My mistake in not pointing out it is not a takeoff.
