Turns after carrier launch

Watching video of carrier launches of a variety of types, I was struck that in many cases a fairly sharp turn was initiated just after lift off. The carrier would (correct me if not the case) be heading directly into wind so adding bank angle would be doubly unwelcome...or is there some reason for this?
