> WWII carriers (I don't think) did not have to have catapults.

I wrote a lengthy response to this subject, but this message got killed
because of incorrect newsgroup.  I'll write an article on this and post
it later (Catapults on WWII Carriers).

> The angled flight deck enabled carriers to launch 4 aircraft at once.

Actually, not simultaneously, but in sequence.
