On a Med cruise aboard Forrestal, our sister F-4B squadron managed THREE Round Down (flight deck edge of ramp) strikes with their tail hooks over a very short time interal.
Carrier landings are a game of inches at speeds of about 150 MPH...in 3-D.
Med cruise 1961 on FDR. Plane crashed on another carrier, also in the Med. Can’t recall the ship or type of aircraft.
Plane didn’t hit the round down, but was lower and flew right into the fantail! Pilot and sailors on the fantail died.
About 6 months later the item appeared in the Dallas TX paper when I was home on leave.
