In the 1950s we regularly launched the Regulus missile from
aircraft carriers, cruisers or submarines. The Regulus had
the same turbojet engine as did the T-33 [T-2V] advanced
pilot trainer of the 1950s and carried a nuclear warhead. It
was command controlled from either the launching ship or
from our FJ-3D carrier based fighter planes.

Ignoring the political, economic, and strategic issues
around the matter,
what would have been the technical problems involved in
launching V-1s from
a completed CV Graf Zeppelin?
I assume one would be limited to city-sized targets; would
the sort of
catapult fitted to GZ have been capable of hefting a V-1
into the air?
