The U.S. Navy has had nearly 100 years of experience flying aircraft off ships. One generation of pilots (sorry, aviators) trained the next over the following decades. It's pretty hard to start from scratch and be able to compete with that wealth of experience. That said, our Navy loses aviators every year as well.
