If it can fly, it had better float...


This is from a Japanese book and the Google Translate app wasn't of much good. It would briefly mention ship structure so I'm assuming the right wing came in contact with the island. Also mentioned was tailhook. It kinda looks like the tailhook is extended and I can't tell if that's a scratch in the photo or part of the arresting gear cable
