"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds."

Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
