I am safe, fake news.
This is why modern British carriers have take-off ramps.
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.... and old Russian carriers too.
