Talk:Arresting gear

Pic

I think you are right. Maybe you can get a free picture of a military object like an arrester gear? I am looking for such a picture but this may take quite some time Jeff 11:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Barricade - Added contradiction notice regarding the amount and spacing of the vertical straps.

I know next to nothing about the barricades used on aircraft carriers, but I can clearly see that it does not consist of "[f]ive vertical engaging straps, spaced 20 feet apart". If noone can correct or clarify this I'd suggest rewriting the passage to be less specific. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.137.37.118 (talk) 23:23, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

AAG not covered

The Ford-class carriers' Advanced Arresting Gear is now 7 years overdue from functional, after more than a half billion dollars spent on it: http://www.dailypress.com/news/military/dp-nws-carrier-arresting-gear-report-20160708-story.html with McCain calling for the Navy to replace it with something else. The Ford-class carriers article AAG section links to the stub Advanced Arresting Gear article but not this one, without noting the controversy. Merging the stub with this article, including a redirect would start fixing the omission. - 173.28.93.51 (talk) 17:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
