ON THE COVER: Perhaps nothing is more advanced than an aircraft carrier. And these fl oating cities of maintenance and might would likely serve an entirely diff erent purpose if not for the versatility of wire rope. On the cover, AVIATION BOATSWAIN’S MATE AIRMAN APPRENTICE, Aaron Sperry, uses a torque wrench to make routine adjustments on an arresting gear wire on the fl ight deck aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73).
