Seriously, I'm not saying there isn't a need for a 16" jointer on board an
aircraft carrier, just trying to understand how and when it would be used.

I'd hazard a guess it wasn't on a carrier itself but a support ship w/
the fleet...they're equipped for essentially anything that might
possible be needed, including pattern-making for castings if push comes
to shove.


Another use? - Support for any on-land needs, once men landed and built,set up new onshore accommodations.

The jointer I recently acquired came from a military base, likely for the men's recreational use, than a military use.
