This was the carrier version designated the Bf109T, the T indicating "Träger" or in english, "Carrier". Originally ten Bf109E aircraft were converted as Bf109T variants, while about sixty were actually manufactured as Bf109T.

Yes there was a Ju87 version also developed to fly off the Zepp. 'Im guessing Ju87T (too lazy to open my version of Thunder At Sea to the hypothetical North Cape Scenario)

Given the 109's history of needing a soft landing can you imagine the training and touch needed to land one on an aircraft carrier? The wind down the deck and the bigger wings would be a help but still...
The 190 would have been a much better plane for operations at sea IMHO.
