True story...bet the bad guy's satellites went berserk looking at this one...!
The B-52 was in Beirut, Lebanon undergoing routine fuel tank cleaning. Workmen accidentally damaged the bladder system and had to install the bladders
from smaller C-130s temporarily.
The plane was flown to nearby McCollough air base where it was lifted upon a barge bound for Tyre on the Mediterranean. Once there it was off-loaded
onto the carrier deck for transport to Crete where the appropriate tank bladders were installed. It was then flown back to Beirut! Military
cooperation in action.

Now if you really believe that a B52 would land in Beirut, Lebanon a hostile country.
and then have workman there clean the fuel tanks.
then check this out photo same ship USS Nimitz [CVN 68], planes in the same positions, execpt no B-52.

Then The wingspan of a B-52 is 185 ft. The beam of the Nimitz is 252 ft. If done to actual scale, the B-52's wingspan would only cover about 75% of
the width of the deck.
Now there has been a C-130 takeoff and landing from a carrier.
