I don’t quite get how the undercarriage withstands that ramp up at the end of the runway.
It would seem the stress would be very strong.

Remember when the PRC swore that its purchase of the Admiral Kuznetsov (carrier) from the Ukraine, and in order to legally tow it back to China they swore up and down that they would turn it into a CASINO...?!
Ridiculous..!
But true history.

The world's oldest aircraft carrier INS Viraat Not accurate as written. Perhaps the 'oldest operational aircraft carrier'. The Yorktown is older.
Hermes - laid down 1944, launched 1953, commissioned 1959 (union labor)
Yorktown - laid down 1941, launched 1943, commissioned 1943
