Suppose someone tried to land an F4F Wildcat on a modern American
aircraft carrier. We'll give the carrier a few hours to prepare, and lets

assume
the carrier is at sea and moving.

Can a WWII fighter land on a modern carrier? Can it get back in the air?

... cannot think of a reason why not for both landing & launch; compared

to the WWII carriers a Nimitz class flightdeck would be huge!!
