This is what happened when a pilot lands on the wrong aircraft carrier (http://i.imgur.com/6nnfClk.jpg)

A U.S. Navy McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee (BuNo 125019) of Fighter Squadron 62 (VF-62) "Gladiators" from the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea (CVB-43) after it had landed aboard USS Wasp (CV-18) in 1952.
VF-62 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 4 (CVG-4) aboard the Coral Sea for a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea from 19 April to 12 October 1952.
It was common practice to paint a visiting aircraft with comments: "VF-62 Guard Mail Original Coral Sea First"; "Fouled up"; "Must be Air Force"; "Airman Adams reporting sir"; "I wanna be a Ubangi" (referring to VF-12 "Flying Ubangis" on Wasp); "From Heaven to Coral Sea via Stinger", "You name it - you land on it". - (courtesy of the National Naval Aviation Museum)
