Then by your definition, the Wright Flyer is still a functional aircraft, as is the Boeing Model 1.
Can a Wright flyer carry cruise missiles?
Because "Touch and Go" are not landings. The aircraft does not actually land, it simply touches the deck in passing.
Now when they make actual "landings", where the aircraft comes to a full stop, then they have actually accomplished the first major step in "Naval Aviation". They are not even to that step yet.
Yes they are
Touch-and-go landing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are not a "full stop" landing, but they are still considered a landing and I can testify as a private pilot myself I have to pay landing fee's every time I touch and go at my local airport.
