Either way, I suspect that no aircraft were on board either on or below decks at the time. Definitely not on, anyway.
There are chock(sp?) chains and mooring stations to keep them secured in the hanger bay or on the flight deck during high seas, since no CO in his right mind would pull off a maneuver like this with aircraft on deck.
Carriers can do these types of turns. Pulling a 30 degree turn at 30-35 knots when a ships is that big, would easily cause a roll like that.
