Gentlemen,
many thanks for this most informative thread.

If one's undercarriage would not retract after take off, then obviously one could not fly to Malta or land back on the aircraft carrier

I hope, this is not a silly question, but why would a pilot, whose plane would not retract its undercarriage will not try to land again on the carrier? Or is this only the case, when the undercarriage is partially retracted and not completely down?
Sorry, I don't know the "mechanisms" on a carrier.
