RE: the Doolittle raids, if the sea had been calm, they couldn’t have launched. A calm sea means no wind, and even with the Hornet at flank speed, the B-25s couldn’t get up enough airspeed to get airborne in time. So the Hornet had to be steaming into a pretty healthy wind — which means choppy seas — to get off in that distance.
