Missed the first cable, slammed into the net., that wripped out and she slid into a Hawkeye queing up for launch then bounced off of that and slid onto an elevator which was on its way up.., and got its nose pinched off which fell onto a bunch of marines drinking warm beer.., the gunny fell off his 50 gal fuel barrel and bruised his 'drinking' elbow and they were all so p-o'd they began to throw their empties and some full ones at the aircraft.., hence all the damage to around the nose.
ROFLMAO!!! Welcome to my favorites list...
Back to the topic at hand... was the nose over the back edge of a JBD when it flipped up?

I was only 16 at the time. I didn't learn a really good slouch until I actually joined the Navy

Maybe another aircraft was being repositioned, pushed backwards, and the sailor not paying attention, backed it into the Phantom?

The F-4J was to be struck down to the hanger bay. It was hooked to the mule via a towbar and backed onto the elevator.
The elevator was lowered without the mule being unhooked causing it to rocket up it a nice arc and come crashing down on the F-4 
There was much screaming involved from GOD ie Air Boss and a few others.
It sat out the rest of the cruise.
