A couple of the Auster books have pictures on at least one carrier.

Given the forthcoming budget cuts the Navy might even welcome some practice! Mind you given the difficulties they present to flying into an ordinary runway I suspect it could never happen these days - but no reason why it couldn't given less 'elfin safety nonsense.

Mind you Genghis has a point - and actually this link http://www.afrl.hpc.mil/aboutus/success/ShipAirwake.pdf gives a good visualisation of the wake aspects - made me very interested in landing on a carrier as well!
