Carrier planes diverting to nearby land bases

Post by thedoctorking »

I had a strike package that didn't make it back to the carriers by nightfall (who fights a carrier battle in the Norwegian Sea in November?). My land base of Bergen was only about 20 miles away, but the planes ditched into the ocean and certain death rather than fly a few more miles to land at an air force facility. I understand the reluctance to hang out with the flyboys, who dare to call you "pilots" instead of proud "aviators", but this seems a little steep.
