It might take off just from the wind over the flight deck.

Propellers? We don’t need no stinking propellers!

Wind over the deck? Yup, it’s happened before. Emergency landings, Carriers don’t slow down for fun. At maybe 30 plus knots into the wind the sailors have to grab the wings and sand bag light planes to keep them aboard. Chuckster’s bush plane, built for soft/rough field landings might not even be able to catch a carrier underway?
