Or do like the US Navy did. There's a clip out ther of them using a
catapult to launch a car off the deck. I was somewhat disappointed as
I was hoping they'd really crank the juice up and LAUNCH that sucker
but it looked like it only went far enough out so the carrier wouldn't
hit it or something.


Or do it like the Fleet Air Arm did. . . and launch the ship's piano off
the catapault. Unfortunately the stress of the cat stroke was rather too
much for the instrument and it entered the oggin like so much matchwood.
