I'll tell the tower we're doing a flap-less landing. They won't notice.

WSO.... " Shouldn't we eject near the Carrier Sir?"
Pilot... " No my Papa brought his P-51 back from Germany with worst damage than this and ah aim to prove what Papa could do I can do'
WSO... " Didn't you tell me your dad died in the crash landing?"

The Gnat's landed already... damage? Oh, a couple of feet of nose and six inches off one of the pilot's boot laces.

Pilot...That was lucky wasn't it
WSO....What do you mean lucky, we came to within a hairs breath of crashing in a ball off flames at 20000 feet with no hope of ejection and certain death when you flew too close to the Valkarie.
Pilot....Lucky we put the duty free booze and fags in the Port wing tanks

What mark do you think the LSO will give me for that landing?
No one has ever achieved a -1 result

Think that proves Cross Decking with the QNLZ class carriers is not on.

Owing to substantial damage to the aircraft the Air Boss decides it has to go over the edge in the South China Sea and clear the deck. Tells Lieutenant Hoskins-Hank not to bother getting out first.

Board of inquiry

So Lt Bloggins since you were Lt’s Jone’s WSO on the subject flight what did he say before the accident event ?

Umm I think he said “Hey watch this !”

Bad news Bloggins, we are calling this 1/2 a kill so you are still 1/2 a kill from being an enemy ace.
