Yes .... but no. When you see it then it'll be obvious (understatement).  :D

These F4B-4's don't have rockets under their sings which they use to kill destroyers with?

It also has 8" guns, which is heavy for a CV. CV-2 had 8" guns, too.

It looks like there's no propellers, but they're actually spinning which is more obvious with the white engined plane.

Looks like they're taking off toward the stern of the ship, instead of the bow.

Yes. And it's the reason for the large crowd gathered on top of those 8" gun turrets. They are observing a stern launch while steaming in reverse. Good job, OM.  :)

The only thing I see is that they didn't ask me to be in the picture. 
Chuck Norris can pick oranges from an apple tree and make the best lemonade in the world. Every morning when you wake up, swallow a live toad. Nothing worse can happen to you for the rest of the day. They say money can't buy happiness. I would like the opportunity to find out. Why be serious?

It's dangerous on the flight deck. You gotta be cautious.
