The other day I saw a tv program with a short piece on defending Britain from zeppelins. Apparently the navy used barges about 60' in length with wooden decks, towed behind faster vessels, as impromptu aircraft carriers. Not sure how the landing was achieved but certainly they took off in strong headwinds without too much problem, albeit risky practice. Worth noting for the sim, I think.
