No a stealth bomber cannot land on an aircraft carrier. Bomber tend to need longer runways then smaller fighter aircraft. In late 1980's, the US Navy began a contract for a new all-weather, stealth fighter to replace the A-6 Intruder. This aircraft was designated the A-12 and it was the general shape of a flying wing---actually a triangle. The prime contractor was General Dynamics. The program was cancelled by Sectary of Defense Dick Chaney, thus ending the first Navy stealth fighter.

How many B-47s does an aircraft carrier hold?
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.
Can a C 17 glogmaster land on an aircraft carrier?
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.
Was there ever an aircraft carrier named after Doolittle?
No, not to my knowledge. Doolittle flew from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet with the USS Enterprise carrying fighters for defense. After Japan was bombed, Roosevelt said that the American bombers flew from Shangri-La (the mythical perfect land in the Himalayas) and afterward an Essex-class aircraft carrier was named USS Shangri-La.
What was the major weakness of Mussolini's navy?
The major flaw or the weakness of the navy Mussolini built was the lack of an aircraft carrier. He believed that for operations in the Mediterranean Sea, his submarine fleet and land based aircraft would make up for the lack of an aircraft carrier. This was a major mistake if his plan was to dominate the Mediterranean Sea.

Pilots that are flying naval aircraft.
Could the space shuttle land on an aircraft carrier?
The space shuttle would not be able to land on an Aircraft carrier. It needs a lot longer runway.

Was the Battle of Midway fought on land or sea?
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.
What jets land on a aircraft carrier?
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.
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"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.
What is the impacts to society of the aircraft carriers?
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.
Was there ever an aircraft carrier named after Doolittle?

How do the f-16 operate on a CVN?
F-16s are part of the United States Air Force, not the United States Navy. F-16s are incapable of operating with an aircraft carrier due to the fact that they do not have the required equipment to launch from or land on an aircraft carrier.
Can an f-18 fighter jet land any where?
No, it is restricted to landing on either a conventional runway, or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
Why was the aircraft carrier created?
An aircraft carrier allows airplanes to take off and land on a ship of a navy battle group while it is at sea and far from land. An airplane gives the battle group improved observation at long distance. Airplanes can attack enemy ships without the enemy seeing and firing at your ships.
