Ah well , back to the drawing board,hmmm, so Aircraft cannot land on a stationary carrier, one shall begin work on a submarine with a very large hacksaw mounted at the bow, that will sneak under enemy carriers and saw off the propellors.
I remember reading about a idea for landing the early Jets on carriers which because of the increased landing speeds presented something of a problem, one idea was to sort of flop them onto a huge inflatable rubber mattress, well necessity is the mother of invention as they say.
