原文说的是2013年4月20日, USS George H.W. Bush 上进行的 Fleet Replacement Squadron Carrier Qualifications (FRS-CQ). 五天内, 每天大约下午1点开始一直持续到凌晨1点, 就是起飞和着落. 每天定量是达到600TRAP, 这个TRAP 可能是舰上着落的专业名词. 如果我没理解错的, 每天600次着落是在CNV 77上, 但起飞可能是包括从别的地方或舰上来的. 关键是它的降落架次强度很牛, 但说它能每天出击能达到同样强度不对. 出击的飞行模式不一样, 不会达到这个架次.

CVN 77 Successfully Completes Fleet Replacement Squadron Carrier Qualifications
Story Number: NNS130422-02Release Date: 4/22/2013 8:53:00 AM By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Brian Castillo, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Public Affairs
USS GEORGE H. W. BUSH, At Sea (NNS) -- USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) concluded its five-day Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) carrier qualifications (CQ) in the Atlantic Ocean, April 20.
Fleet Replacement Squadron CQ consists of both day and night operations.
The ship and its crew of more than 3,000 Sailors worked in unison with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 120, and Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40 around the clock to help pilots successfully complete the final stages of their training.
"We flew every day from approximately 1 p.m. until 1 a.m., and met our mark of around 600 traps," said Lt. Kent Davis, flight deck officer. "It's tougher than regular flight operations."
Regular flight operations can involve launching 2-3 aircraft at a time with 1-2 hours between launches. Pilots would then fly their missions for several hours before returning to the ship. Fleet Replacement Squadron CQ, on the other hand, is a 12-hour continuous flight evolution demanding more from the crew and pilots.
"Normal flight operations are a timed evolution," said Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) Derrick W. Foster, flight deck chief. "Fleet Replacement Squadron CQ is harder; it is extremely fast paced and nonstop not only for the ship's crew but the pilots as well."
In order for FRS pilots to qualify and advance into a fleet squadron the pilot must successfully complete six landings during the day and four landings during the night aboard an aircraft carrier.
"These Fleet Replacement Squadron pilots have completed daytime carrier operations in the past, but this week's evolution marked the first arrested night landings of their careers," said Davis.
Forty-one pilots qualified on their squadron specific aircraft, consisting of either F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets, E-2C Hawkeye, or C-2A Greyhounds during the FRS CQ.
"This was one of the biggest CQ periods I've done on the Bush," said Davis. "With everyone working together it was completed safely and efficiently."
The Bush is currently conducting training operations in the Atlantic Ocean, strengthening the Navy's forward operating and war fighting ability.
