Not long enough for jests(sic) to operate,

Harriers are jets and the Brits no longer operated CATOBAR aircraft from sea platforms during the Falklands.

AV-8A USS Guam LPH-9

AV-8A USS Tripoli LPH-10 1974

Harriers, bith AV-8A and AV-8B embarked aboard Iwo Jima Class boats on numerous occasions.

Never embarked them but we did deck quals with a Harrier out of Iwakuni on DUBUQUE (LPD-8) in the Sea of Japan in ‘98.
