Would training barges help pilots qualify for carrier landings?

Could barges rigged and welded together provide an intermediate training platform between land and a full aircraft carrier?

The number of pilots requiring carrier qualification is considered too small to justify such a platform.

The proposed platform would use barges rigged and welded together as an intermediate stage between a land runway and a full carrier. The answer rejects the proposal because too few pilots would use it. The objection concerns the scale of the training requirement.
