La diferencia de las catapultas entre el R05 y el R09 radica en que las del Ark, tenían sistemas para recuperar el cable de lanzamiento de las catapultas
En ingleses sería "bridle catcher".
El cable creo que se llama "estrobo"
Catapultas del R05:
"(BS5s, 151 ft (46 m) stroke on the port side forward and 199 ft (61 m) stroke in the waist)"
Eagle was originally intended to receive a further refit that would have enabled her to comfortably operate the McDonnell Douglas Phantom. Her two BS5 catapults fitted in her 1959-64 refit were already powerful enough to launch fully laden F-4s, but her Jet Blast Deflectors were still of the older steel plate design, and the reheated exhaust of the Phantom's Rolls Royce Spey engines required water-cooled deflector plates. It was also planned to fit bridle catchers to the catapults as a cost-saving measure, as the bridles would otherwise be lost after a single launch.
Nota que el cable no sale disparado de la catapulta (un F-4J lanzado de la catapulta del R09 en un cross decking)
Los CV americanos, dejaron de tenerlos cuando cambiaron de sistema de lanzamiento por catapulta.
