The day covey or the verboten night covey? Remember....we weren't that good.Funny, I remember doing them on that cruise. Perfect for the Prowler and the spare.
Best I could do was a double hook at the bow. Coveys were verboten on the big stick with the regime at the time. Oh yes....the night covey: the bolter and simultaneous cat one launch.
Tower: "bow shooter, pick up the goddamn phone...."
Day. Didn't realize Wheels put you guys under such restrictions. I appologize for the product of my community.The day covey or the verboten night covey? Remember....we weren't that good.
We tried to carry on the tradition, but after a few months into cruise, capt queeg started acting up and beat the boss into submission. He folded... Then we did. Capt queeg was a bear with no top cover to buffer us.
....- guess it must of sucked for the shooter shack. . . .
Quick question ~ Do all Navy fixed wing, carrier types have to do a shooter tour? Do you act as LSO as a duty when you are in a fleet squadron on the boat? How are these gigs (coming from a helo guy that knows nothing).
What I do know is that during CQ drills, other squadrons would be conducting battle-rack ops. In the HS world, we did short-fused training sessions. Good way to keep up the moral.
