I share with you some photos showing P-51 Mustangs on aircraft carriers. There was a naval version of this plane? To see the photos, visit the link below:

The one with a tail hook looks like a trial. As far as I know, they never operated from carriers. They were on the other hand transported by carrier. Either unloaded or launched at the end but not recovered.
