There was NOTHING like being on the Carrier when a Tomcat did a super sonic pass. With 60,000 pounds of American titanium, steel, and aluminum moving that fast, the BOOM was enormous. It literally shook the whole carrier. If you were on the flight deck, you’d cover your ears and open your mouth to keep from over pressurizing your ears. Below decks, there was this noticeable THUNNNNGGG as the shockwave passed through the whole ship. Even the Snipes (the Sailors way down in the lower engine room decks, God Bless ‘em!) could feel it. Nothing like that experience in the world.
