To be pedantic a F-15 is an Air Force plane and not designed for a carrier. A F-14 is what you are looking for (think Top Gun).

To be more pedantic, he said "

to take off". I think an F-15 pilot who somehow found himself on a carrier deck and had to (try to) take off wouldn't hold anything back in the power/noise department. :)

In the case of being extra extra pedantic, how did the F-15 without arresting gear get on the carrier in the first place? Okay, enough fun.

Theoretically it could be carried by an aerial crane heli, like a Mil V-12 (20-25T), an empty F15 being in the 15T range.
