Can a plane land on an aircraft carrier without support from its crew? Imagine a scenario where a carrier was dead in the water. No-one inside. Could a plane land on the carrier? What would such a procedure look like potentially?
The Nimitz Class aircraft carriers are the largest warships ever built. With over 6,000 personnel (crew and aircrew), the carrier has a displacement of 102,000t, and a flight deck length of 332.9m.

332.9m * 39 in/m * 1 ft/12in = 1081.9 ft.  I think many small (2-4 seat) aircraft could land &amp; stop in that distance. I'm pretty sure I could in my Cessna 177B, fixed gear, with micro-vortex generators for slower landings. Even without any headwind to help slow down.

From the 177B Pilot Operating Handbook:


  LANDING PERFORMANCE:
  Ground Roll    ---------------------------------------------------- 600 FT


And that was before the micro VGs, so it should be even shorter now.
