How does one not see an aircraft carrier?.............
One who wanted to test if it was possible to get close.
Think about it.
“.........How does one not see an aircraft carrier?.............”
More realistically, how does an aircraft carrier not know precisely where any ship is located within several miles of that aircraft carrier. If the US Navy is that lax about not monitoring ships in the area of an aircraft carrier, then heaven help us.
And yes, I understand that for commercial shipping through the Suez Canal a local pilot is to come aboard and command the ship through the Canal. It would be interesting to know if a nuclear carrier will surrender control of the helm to a local pilot.
