Arkansas could only respond with a what when it came to the news. He knew that Cleveland has originally purposed to Helena when he was at the Sakura Empire, but he thought that they already had their wedding.
Langley: So, you gonna accept?
Arkansas: I kinda have to, I'm best man by default. Because I'm the only man here.
Langley: Well, we'll talk about it more after class ends, their wedding is on the upcoming Sunday.
Arkansas: Well, that's great. I'm gonna have to go get a tuxedo, and there's only one person on this base that would have a tuxedo. And I hate her.
Langley: Arkansas...
Arkansas: What, it's true.
Both ships read over the remaining mail of Arkansas and head back to class, which was over aircraft this time. Arkansas has some minimal experience over this compared to Langley due to obvious reasons. Arkansas teaches some of the basics of floatplanes while Langley goes over aircraft operations.
Arkansas: And this is why I have cranes and a catapult on my ship, cause unlike carriers, I do not have enough space to launch an aircraft. I instead use a catapult to launch a floatplane, and when it comes back, it lands close to me and I crane it out of the water.
Yukikaze: Can any ship use this?
Arkansas: Yes, but it depends on how much space you can afford to it. Submarines can even have floatplanes. The main feature of it is a catapult.
Langley: Which is on carriers as well, though they're embeddened in the deck rather than one like Arkansas'. I'll show you an example.

Langley pulls out an image from a refitted Essex class carrier, showing the flight deck of the carrier.
Langley: Those black lines on the front are the catapults, they are responsible for getting the aircraft up to speed as they launch off. Now, Arkansas did have an example of how his catapult worked, and here's his images.
