Assault carrier landing spot
Posted by dhuff125 on Sunday, November 5, 2006 10:55 AM

I asked this question a few months back in the ship section and did not get a good response.   Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the landing spot markings on an assault carrier.

 

Thanks

Thanks Ordie, I think I found those same manuals.   I also found a reference from a Nasa publication that said the stripes are 2' wide.   So I think I am close.   I was hoping to hear from some of our service men to verify my research.

I don't know if this will help or not, but here is a photo from May of 77 aboard U.S.S. Guadalcanal, LPH-7
