A F-16 cannot land on a ship: it has no landing restraining hook to catch the cable and the landing gear are so light they would all collapse causing the plane to crash on the deck.
Naval aircraft landing on a carrier MUST come down full afterburner emergency thrust until the pilot feels the cable grab the plane, then he must kill his engines completely to avoid snapping the cable.
