That is a fact. I loved the film.

Today, the amount of engineering that goes into logistics supportability of military aircraft and equipment is very impressive: design to maintainer, human factors, etc.

On board ship the problem is magnified 10 fold. Everything has to be able to fit into confined spaces through narrow passage ways. Think about removing four rotor blades underway on a Frigate in big seas

I hired a firm called Pit Stop Engineering to help me solve a lot of deployment problems with Unmanned Systems. The came from the F1 world and helped the Army quite a bit, which is how I heard of them.
