It took me some time to realize the joke is that she's an US Army Air Corps pilot that accidentally landed on a US Navy Carrier.

The Army never operated the Corsair. It was Navy/Marine Corps only. What happened is explicitly stated in the description: the pilot landed on the wrong carrier.

Outside of emergencies or special circumstances, you're supposed to land on your own ship. Landing on the wrong ship without a good reason for it is treated like the fuckup it is, and there are several images online of aircraft tagged up like that when a pilot messed up their vessel identification and trapped on the wrong deck.
