The Lürssen built yacht Oheka II was the predecessor of their S-Boot series, the following from
Die Yacht, 1927, suggests ways to make Porco's vessel look less militaristic.

Angled up catapult, aircraft approx 2/3 of the way back, crane to lift the aircraft aboard after landing. Yup...the S-boot and S.21 kits reside inside Ye Olde Stash.

Huh, I was thinking a while ago of using an S boat and the Ar-196 as a seaplane carrier combo.

What about a Flettner?
This was actually trialed on the Drache, a former Yugoslavian seaplane tender.
Oops.

Kriegsmarine messed around with tiny autogyros for U-boats, seems like a logical extrapolation to fit a fantail landing deck to an R- or S- or E- boat. See http://uboat.net/technical/bachstelze.htm

The S21 is about 7.5m long. Since the engines for those types of boats are mid-hull more or less, no reason the fantail couldn't be cut-down to facilitate winching on/off. The precedence exists, just can't find an image to illustrate it at the moment.
