- While aboard the USS Bonn Homme Richard ( CVA 31 ) in the late 50's I personally observed this being done, with AD's, at almost every port that we entered, especially in Japan. The AD had a prop arc of 13'6" and was rated at 3,350 hp. The AD pilots really did complain, just as shown in the movie.
From a retired air-traffic controller, who was also good friends with several AD drivers.
- If you watch the movie "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" you can see this being done when a carrier comes into port in Japan, as the previous answer says.
