Interesting link,the image of C130 that landed on it,quite amazing to get land a C130 on it,looking at that image-even the C130 looks small.Must have been a huge carrier.Did see a segment on the fire etc,tragic stuff-the link says 134 people lost their lives-very sad.Sounds like arming of jets could have been done a lot safer,rather than pointing jets at each other,what a stuff up

Pitty Australia could not have bought it and used in our navy,although a penny might be stretching the defense budget a bit.....,I think all our 'throw away' frigates have had it and now fish homes.
