As an old carrier sailor, I have never heard the term "flew ON carriers"
before. It was always "flew FROM or OFF carriers".
Not to doubt your varacity, Sir. Just that things change, I suppose.

I flew on aircraft carriers for 11 years (minus time on shore billets)
and had 1500 hrs and over 300 traps. Please don't lecture me on
aviation safety.
