Arresting Gear Hoodie

Four cables across the deck, each one designed to stop an aircraft inside a hundred and fifty feet.
The arresting gear absorbed the energy of a landing in a hydraulic engine below decks, paying out steel cable against calibrated pistons. The number of cables fell over the decades from a dozen to a handful. The engineering grew quieter, more reliable, and less talked about. Every successful trap on a carrier deck has been the work of the gear and the men who calibrate it before every cycle.
For those who understand that the most reliable system on any deck is usually the one whose work is never visible from outside the ship.
