I can't find any pics of FAA Seafires, Swordfish, Fulmars, etc. onboard a USN carrier at sea. Even with the later jets, like the Scimitar, Vampire, etc. I see no pics. The best I can find is a pic of SHAR visiting a USN CV.
Did British-designed, FAA aircraft visit USN CVs? I'm especially interested in the WW2 period.
How about a film of a Vampire landing on the USS Antietam?
Blackburn Buccaneer XN974 did land on the USS Lexington in 1965 as part of Carrier-Compatibility Trials http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/S2_XN976_files/0_S2_XN976.html
Pretty sure this is now in the Yorkshire Air Museum.

The F-4K Phantom was redesigned to incorporate British Spey engines and other parts. These did land on US carriers. http://www.seaforces.org/usnair/VF/Fighter-Squadron-101.htm
Let's not forget that todays USN pilots learn to land on carriers in British-designed jets, the T-45 Goshawk
