Used to do them on HMAS Melbourne - called CCA [carrier controlled approach].
Controlled over 1500 GC/CCA's many in actual bad weather issues. Controlled a C-130 coming into Butterworth one Sunday morning from Bahrain...IMC with heavy rain and low cloud. All diversion airfields required an alternate; great satisfaction getting them on the ground in nearly zero vis in heavy tropical rain after three attempts. It got my attention when they said they would take a vector to the back of Penang Is and ditch as no more fuel to mess around or go anywhere. Talk down to touch down and a few Anchors afterwards!
