In the for what its worth department, I heard a mechanic in a Air National Guard unit tell a story about an exercise where Air Force units were supposed to fight a Navy Carrier Task Force -- I think in Gulf of
Mexico America. Two Air National Guard F4s approached the Task Force at wave top height, at the moment when hostilities were to begin. They were undetected, popped up over the aircraft carrier, and as the went over opened up something, flaps, air brakes, (I'm not a pilot) that allowed several rolls of toilet paper to drop out, and bounce across the deck, leaving unimpeachable proof that had the attack been real, it would have successful.
The Navy responded by prohibiting Air Force aircraft from flying within a mile (or 3 or something) of their task force, for "safety reasons."
