Wow, no 4, they were lucky!
They rather hit the wave crests splashed up by the carrier's bow going down, than massive water. Nevertheless it was a tricky situation.
That's one reason to do a take off from a carrier when the bow goes up, the other one being that an upward inclined flight deck gives the plane more lift.
According to search, this incident happened in 1971 on the USS Ticonderoga.

This is why modern British carriers have take-off ramps.

Talking of upwardly-inclined ramps,
a nice quote from the 11th century Sanskrit poet Bilhana:

'A poet's words are worthiest
when they break through the bounds of style
by their sheer boldness -
as a beloved's breasts are to be praised
when they burst through the seams
by their unique fullness'

... and old Russian carriers too.
They use ramps to launch their planes in stead of catapults. Ramps are cheaper and less complex to build and to operate, but they impose limits on the weight of weapon loads the planes can carry. Only planes with a high thrust to weight ratio are suited to this system. The Russians use their afterburner to assist on take off, the British the rotating engines of their Sea Harriers.

One of those Japanese things that's hard to explain. It goes back a very long way.

It continues in anime, but with the tentacles usually attached to a monster or demon and with more than eight of them

(Just Google "tentacle rape", you'll find a ton of it.)
