"Twenty-five years ago last June, the Spanish container ship Alraigo was
steaming off the coast of Portugal on its way to Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Not far away, aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious, which was
participating in a NATO exercise, 25-year-old Sub-Lieutenant Ian “Soapy” Watson
was preparing for his 14th sortie in the Sea Harrier vertical-takeoff-and-landing jet.
Watson was paired with a more senior pilot in another Harrier and ordered to find
a French aircraft carrier. Simulating combat conditions, the two departed
under radio silence and with radar off. They split up when they reached
their search area, climbed to assigned altitude, turned on their radar,
and swept separate zones.
Search completed, Watson descended and headed to the point
where he was to rejoin the flight leader. When the leader didn’t show,
Watson relied on his inertial navigation system to get him back to the Illustrious.
“I went through everything I had in the airplane to help me,” he said.
“I tried the radio. I had the radar on. I squawked emergency.
Absolutely nothing. There were no returns on the radar.”
В общем , доверился мужик инерциальной системе навигации ,
а она его на испанский контейнеровоз и вывела .
А посмотреть , куда все-таки садишься - не судьба была ?
Или палуба авианосца и контейнеровоза так похожи ?
