   You can't practice dodging a destroyer that comes barrelling across the bow of a CV while you are taking off because some idiot turned the carrier.  You're ten feet off the water doing 140 miles an hour and here comes the Destroyer.  BAM !  It's OVER.  You can play with the rudders and ailerons all you want..  you're goin swimming. 
   

That has never happened to me or anybody I know. And to get off faster, put off some flaps. I think the hitting the destroyer thing is just a big lie, never heard of it, never happened to me or anyone I know.

Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes

I've seen people land on the Cruiser. I do believe it is ultimately a ditch though.

Cue movie of someone panicking on CV's emergency left turn, and landing safely in the elevator space below the deck.
