In 1963, the supercarrier USS Forrestal hosted a KC-130F. The cargo plane made numerous touch-and-goes, full-stop landings and unassisted takeoffs, proving that it could be used for carrier on-board delivery of supplies and personnel and such. Sadly, this concept never saw service. While it did work, the deck had to be kept pretty clear.
