Pilots that are flying naval aircraft.
The space shuttle would not be able to land on an Aircraft carrier. It needs a lot longer runway.
No, the C-17 air transport aircraft is much too heavy & large to land on an Aircraft Carrier. Or for that matter take-off again.
The Battle of Midway was fought entirely at sea by aircraft from Japan's aircraft carrier forces, the United States Navy aircraft carrier forces, and land-based aircraft from Midway.
Ones with tail hooks so they can stop. The biggest plane to ever land on a US aircraft carrier was a C-130, which the Navy was considering for Carrier Onboard Delivery service.
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
Aircraft can strike any city anywhere anytime, thanks to the aircraft carrier. Stated another way: Prior to the carrier, airplanes NEEDED a land base to operate from. So if a country or city was too far away from any land, it would be virtually safe from air attack because NO AIRPLANE could reach it. Thanks to the carrier; no land (island) is needed.
Only there's no one on the aircraft carrier.

The B-47 is a long obsolete medium bomber that was land based - they were never used on aircraft carriers, and indeed, needed more runway than an aircraft carrier could provide. Hence, the question is moot.
The USS Eisenhower carrier is the most strongest aircraft carrier in the World.
Carrier fighter vs carrier fighter. Aircraft carrier duels. Carrier planes (naval aircraft) have folding wings/or wing-tips for shipboard operations.
Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga was created on 1929-11-30.
