On an aircraft carrier, doubt seriously that a ditching log would be of much help....but, if the carrier got bogged down in mud or bellied up, they might make an Italian cruise ship out of it,.

No dumb questions when you want to learn...why do they call the front of the tank bow, and the inner walls bulkheads? Tanks were originally called land ships.. on a carrier....the island (I-land) is where a pilot does NOT want to..
