The Brisbane flyover brought to mind an incident from about 1970.
The Saratoga had an engineering pipe burst in Phaleron Bay, Athens. She ended up touching the bottom, the bay isn't that deep close to land.
The air wing had to fly off to Naples. The ship was bow in.
They catapulted the Phantoms off. They immediately had to go to full power in a turn to starboard to avoid the line of hotels along the water.
The Phantoms always dropped down right after clearing the cat shot, so it looked tremendously dangerous.
Those two, smoky engines gave enormous power (proving that even a brick could fly with enough power) and were loud. Thunderously loud.
Since the planes came close to those hotels, maybe eighty yards, the booming noise woke any late sleepers, and shook the buildings.
When they tried to homeport Destroyer Squadron Twelve in 1972, all the waterfront hotels said ,"Non militaire."

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side." Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.
