Catapulting from an aircraft carrier at night or IMC would surely be the most dangerous risk from SI yet rarely do we hear of these aircraft crashing into the ocean after take off.............
Having had a bit of experience with dead-of-night catapult launches in open ocean with no horizon (probably 200 times), the ONLY thing to do is to trust your instruments. Otherwise you die. As has been stated above, the transition from a semi-visual approach to a go-around can be very difficult, but it's still mandatory to trust those gauges.
