Here is a 3D model of a Gemini capsule re-entering Earth atmosphere. The model is created with Maxon C4D using the Turbulence 4D plug-in. I always found the network TV animations of re-entry to be rather fake looking. Now, 45 years later, I can create a better version all by my lonely. Thanks to Paul Selhi's SFX forum for insights and settings.
@bluecolliedog Well, if you mean which 3D model carrier, whichever is simpler to model, probably the Hornet. If you mean real world carriers, again, I believe the Hornet has the longer, richer tradition of scooping up capsules at sea. So, the Hornet seems like the most likely responder. Thank you for your question, Mr. Viewer.

Will the Kittyhawk or the Hornet pickup the crew and capsule after splashdown?
