U.S. carriers park aircraft on the flight deck between air ops, and sometimes even during.

The USN carrier fleet came of age fighting the IJN. We needed every damn airplane we could muster ... old habits die hard. This one shouldn't die at all.

Quality of our ships can’t be beat. Likewise, our doctrine is well tested. The US has far more experience in carrier operations than any other nation on earth. We know how to do this stuff. Other nations basically hope for the best.

U.S. carriers were doing that long before World War II. I believe they are the only fleet that did - the Brits and the Japanese did not.
