Interesting picture Yorktown in reverse, landing plane

The Yorktown steams full astern to land a TBF Avenger over the bow,
July 1943. Though provision for over-the-bow landing was a design
requirement, it was rarely practiced and the bow arresting gear was
soon eliminated."
IIRC: same as with the hanger deck catapult , out the side..
