Yes, I'd say you keep the hook up...   You also might want to flip the 'hook bypass' switch to 'FIELD'.  (located at the bottom left corner of the left quarter panel) This way your AOA indexer will not blink when you have your landing gear down. When you decide to lower the hook, the 'hook bypass' switch will snap back to 'CARRIER' (electrically held).

Touch and go are mentioned in the SC manual.  IIRC Jester still says bolter though.

When coming out to the ship for the first time for work ups, it was required to get three Touch and Go's before going Hook down. That includes CQ. In addition, "off topic" getting 6 plugs on the Tanker was a required IFR qual.

My squadron has a CQ mission with an S-3 overhead. 

We would launch from the ship, either Marshal overhead, or just meet at the Tanker. Everyone gets their 6 plugs, then we return to the boat in Sections for CQ. We all get three bounces then trap.

It's the way be dust off the cob webs before we do any fighting.

Hopefully updates to the Supercarrier ATC will include this setup as an option, if not also proper bolter communications as well.
