#2 They only have one carrier, so, I guess they don't get a lot of practice.

#3 Somehow I don't think the Russkis are up to a USN tempo of operations.

Of course if Hillary had been elected she would have worked hard to level that playing field as Obama has.

#7 Carrier operations are hard. The US still crashes jets once in a while.

#8 Wasn't one of the previous mishaps also because of an arrester cable?

(checking)

It broke during one plane's landing, and while they were trying to clear the fouled deck the other plane ran out of fuel.
