In Viet Nam a U.S. Soldier carried about 440 rounds of M16 ammo. Three
bandoleers with seven clips each. Each clip with 20 rounds. Magazine is a
better word.
On a diagonal deck carrier you can launch planes off the front and land
them at the back, but when landing in peace time (my only expericnce)
everone is such a nervous wreck that they kept the deck very clean.
There were only three on the deck when a plane was landing and the previously
landed plane was gotten off the flight deck onto the hanger deck as rapidly as
possible.
