Hahahaha...my berthing space was right under the wires...when the planes were coming in to land, I could hear them before they landed...a faint, very faint whine, getting louder and louder until WHAM!

The the sound of the arresting gear playing out, followed by the sound of it retracting...scraping over the deck as it comes back, then the “click....click..click.click” at it stops moving on top of the metal things that hold the cables a few inches off the deck.

Never got old.

No, wait...what am I saying....?
