Default Instrument Approaches to a Carrier?

I was watching a show the other day about two new Naval Officers training on the F-14. They had to be some of the last people being trained on the aircraft considering this documentary looked very recent.
They we're doing carrier landings in the day and at night and that's where my question comes from.
What happens when the weather is less than marginal? Are there some sort of modified instrument approaches set up to a carrier? I was reading about the use of TACAN and radar approaches, but couldn't find that much on it.
