In April 1914, the battleship USS Mississippi and cruiser USS Birmingham became the first aircraft carriers to be used in war. Operating off Vera Cruz, Mexico, five US Navy seaplanes made reconnaissance flights over Mexican troops.
They were lowered over the sides of the ships and made take-offs and landings in the water.
Well..., I don't know if this would REALLY count as carrier work.
