Landing a passenger jet on an aircraft carrier really would be "moving fast and breaking things".


Including aircraft carriers...

63 meter wingspan for a 777 vs 40 meters for a C130, flight deck width of an aircraft carrier is about 80 meters so in theory that is possible but it would be pretty scary, I don't know of any airport where there is an obstacle the size of an 8 floor building sitting right next to the runway.
