Ditch parallel with the direction of the swells.
Hook down (this gives an indication to pilot when A/C is extremely
close to water)
Try to impact water just above stall speed.
Pray...

Lets say you're flying a F-6 Hellcat. You can't
land on board cause your too shot up and your
hydraulics are gone( no landing gear) Your carrier
is in sight they know of your problem and have
dispatched rescue. The sea is moderately calm.
How do you land your aircraft?
