[Tigers] ACCELERATION DEFINED and Experienced!

[Jim Sencindiver]

On my First Class (Senior Year) Midshipman cruise on USS America, I was able
to get one ride (round trip) on an E2C - the Radar Early Warning Plane.  The
Catapult launch is a pretty violent affair, going from O to 120 mph
(relative to the Carrier) in just 2 seconds.  The arrested landing is
equally violent, going from 120 mph to 0 (relative to the Carrier) in 2
seconds.  Better than ANY amusement park ride!
