Chris, Yes they were "bail out bags" The early carriers were not originally supposed to "do battle" They were supposed to deliver the gun crew to a point, drop them and retire. Remember the British army was still having trouble with letting go of lining up in ranks of three, facing a similar enemy 150 yards away.Blitzkrieg left the allies lost for answers.
In saying the above, I don't think the bail out bags came into being until the second half of carrier production. I took too long to put my post up.
