JATO bottle fwd/aft of C-130, regular angle on back, 10deg in front (FAT A type aft or fwd if so needed, weight+stoppage=issue). Weight of struts (stablization only) for U2 not an issue. Fly by wire struts (not for rating, just stablize only).
It shows a C-130 lined up on a newer ship whose superstructure is on the port side of the ship. The superstructure of US ships is on the starboard side.
