I remember that F-4 Phantoms used a sling also. I'm sure that Brazil uses slings on their Skyhawks..but who knows when was the last time their lone carrier went to sea. I don't..not in recent times . I'm almost sure of that.
This is the most recent article I could find on Sao Paulo A12;
F-35C completes second developmental testing exercises at sea. It was conducted aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenower, CVN-69.
The fly-by starting at 42 seconds is sweet. Night time exercises starting at 1:11.
Also, notice the appearance of the CatB (also known as the CatBird), a modified 737, at 1:40, which is the flying electronics/avionics library for the F-35. It is the aircraft that tests out every new technology element created for the F-35 before it can be installed on the actual F-35 aircraft.

Interesting that the CatB was shown, but it is the aircraft where they are testing all of the new electronics and avionics systems on the F-35.
It is a modified 737. The nose is actually identical to the nose of the F-35.
When speaking of it, the program manager said:

It would be interesting to know what they were testing there.
There are now ten Real Aegis equipped ships homeported in Yokosuka Japan.
