This is the story about the attempt of the navy to use destroyers like the Stevens to carry small aircraft, and some of the mishaps that ensued. A great short story, which gave Glanzman a good chance to show his skills at drawing some of the rigging on the deck of the ship, as it was modified to capture and take aboard the plane, as well as show off a bit of the rivalry between the various divisions of the armed forces.

Glanzman also recounts this navy experiment in his graphic novel A Sailor's Story.
