The craziest part of the plan was that it totally worked. Why try to land a C-130 on an aircraft carrier? America's Nimitz and Ford-class supercarriers make up the backbone of what could be described as the U.S. Navy's 'blue-water' force. In common discussion, a 'green water' navy is largely relegated to littoral, or coastal, operations because of its reliance on frequent resupplies from nearby friendly ports. A 'blue water' navy, on the
