Yes. They are moving from one station to another. Looks like it's still common practice:

Forgive my ignorance but in the event that for some reason that carrier had to launch some aircraft in a hurry, is there enough room left on the deck?

With a catapult, they could take off ok, but landing would be a problem.

No problem, just launch some of the cars.
They could have set the car on fire for a tribute to a Viking funeral!
