Are P-700 launchers also angled on an aircraft carrier?

A question about the P-700's visible launch angle receives a brief, qualified answer about its carrier installation.

Question

P-700 launches appear to climb at 30 to 45 degrees. Is the arrangement similar on the aircraft carrier?

Short answer

The tentative answer is yes, the launchers are thought to be angled to some extent.

Notes

The question compares the visible climb of a P-700 after launch with the arrangement aboard an aircraft carrier. The response agrees to an extent and says the launchers are thought to be angled. It gives no measured angle for that installation.
