The "Ferry" answer is a Guddn.
Not like it hadn't been attempted/done umpteen times before from Norway-Malta-Guadalcanal-Wake, and to bring replacement aircraft to replenish Carrier losses all throughout the war.
Many types could take off from a carrier, but would have to land on the ground. Doolittles B-25s, P-47s to name a few.
I believe the same amount of planes, pilots, groups would've been there, and perhaps...fewer losses to sink with the ship, and less damage to Midway
