Why the aircraft carrier crew jumped overboard

#BeyondExplained
Aircraft carrier crews definitely have to be ready and alert while they carry out their duties, because working on an aircraft carrier is a very dangerous job. But behind that, there is one thing they do, namely jump into the sea. It's called Swim Call. Swim Call, a cherished tradition on aircraft carriers, offers a unique opportunity for crew members to take a refreshing dip in the open ocean. Amid the vast expanse of the sea, away from the confines of the ship, a swim call provides a welcome respite and a chance to relax. This event, carefully planned with safety precautions in mind, allows crew members to momentarily escape the demanding routines of life at sea and enjoy the freedom and camaraderie that come with swimming in the open waters. Before the event, the ship's crew prepares by securing the ship and setting up safety precautions. The ship's propulsion is often shut down, and the aircraft are moved to a safe distance.
