In the photo below, I noticed several aircraft in the background hanging from the ceiling of the hanger bay. Was this typical of WWII carrier storage?

I know it was on the first carriers, I'm not sure if that carried over to the Essex Class. I can check a book I have on the Evolution of the Essex Class
