What happens when a naval aviator makes the mistake of landing on a different aircraft carrier than the ship from which he took off. It has happened on a few occasions, and usually the plane of the pilot in question suffers the effects of the jokes it has received from the crew members.
A McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee of VF-34 Squadron, the 408th. It also got the wrong carrier after a mission.
An F2H-2 Banshee from squadron VF-62 "Gladiators", assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea (CV-43), landed by mistake on the USS Wasp (CV-18) during a deployment in the Mediterranean Sea on October 12, 1952. Among other graffiti, one reads: "Must be Air Force".
A McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II fighter (cn 149426) of VF-143 "Pukin' Dogs" squadron, assigned to USS Constellation (CV-64), after mistakenly landing on the USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) (1964)
Another US Navy Phantom II from the USS Coral Sea (CV-43) that got the wrong aircraft carrier, the USS Intrepid (CV-11)
British Royal Navy F4K FG.1 Phantoms after a visit to NAS Oceana
