What am I missing? edit
In the Recovery Types, CASE I section it says "Aircraft awaiting recovery hold in the “port holding pattern”, a left-hand circle tangent to the ship’s course with the ship in the 3-o’clock position." Shouldn't that be 9 o-clock? Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 00:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Launch officer pit? edit
I came across this public domain photo that I think would make a good addition to the article, but am not knowledgeable enough about carrier operations to accurately describe it. From some Googling, it seems like this is the station for the "launch officer" - though I'm not sure if this is the same as what our article describes as the catapult officer. Anyone have a better description of what I'm looking at, and ideally what the real term for the structure is, in order to get some better Google results?

- SO that is referred to as "the bubble." It's where the Shooter (Launch officer or catapult launch officer as is the proper term) launches the aircraft from in inclement weather. Otherwise it's done on deck. I was a shooter on the last aircraft carrier (CV-63) that did not have one. The Kitty Hawk has since been decommissioned so now all US aircraft carriers in service have one. I never had the opportunity to launch from one though. I did it like real men did lol.
