WEB,
Eugene Ely landed and took off from the USS Pennsylvania using a Curtis Pusher Airplane on January 18, 1911.
He and other pilots had been doing some takeoffs from various ships in an effort to shorten Mail transit times from large Ships.
That led to the US Navy doing some tests which led to the first landing and takeoff for the American Navy.
