About 150 knots +/- approach speed? I can’t imagine landing one on a pre-Forrestal class aircraft carrier. Big swinging clankers.

I was on the Forrestal, and we were still flying the F4-J.....I watched one suck up a deck wrench on it’s way down the cats...blew the starboard engine right out...and the damn thing still got airborne, flew around and landed...
