Most battleships and indeed heavy cruisers carried seaplanes
Usually on\off loaded with a crane though some had short skid sections with catapaults the aircraft could take straight off from
Arado being hauled back on the Blucher
Bismarck hoisting its back onboard
And a Kingfisher coming off USS Quincy
And a Walrus being bought back onboard HMS Nigeria
