Yep! To make sure I wasn't talking complete BS I set up a mission with myself in a F4U-D with full fuel, Tiny Timx2 and a 1000lb'er taking off from a moving Lexington traveling at 40Km/h and managed to take off.
On line I'm sure I would have ended up in the drink with this loadout.
Cheers
Here's the track I think?

Note that the dispayed airspeed starts off at 0 and as carrier builds up speed so does the airspeed to 40KM/H
If you want I can link to a track with a stationary carrier where I crash on takeoff but I don't think it will prove anything !)
