Planning ... not

Comrade Misfit points out that while VTOL aircraft are useful (some of them), nobody thought about what to do when they're based on ships:

My Deck is Melting!

That may be the cry of a CVN, LHA or LPD captain in the next decade, as the V-22 and the F-35B go to sea. Both aircraft blast their jet exhausts downward and can warp the decks of the ships.

Good thinking, fellas.
