Carrier launch sequence

I wasn't expecting the side launched fighters from the elevators, however those fighters do have VTOL capabilities lol. On a side note, early Essex class carriers hadnthe ability to side launch fighters from a catapult in the hangar deck. They were supposed to be used as a quick reaction force, especially if the main deck was busy in flight recovery operations.
