We fabricated reproducible high transparency superconducting contacts consisting of superconducting Ti/Al/Ti trilayers to gated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The reported semiconducting SWCNT have normal state differential conductance up to $3e^2/h$ and exhibit clear Fabry-Perot interference patterns in the bias spectroscopy plot. We observed subharmonic gap structure in the differential conductance and a distinct peak in the conductance at zero bias which is interpreted as a manifestation of a supercurrent. The gate dependence of this supercurrent as well as the excess current are examined and compared to a coherent theory of superconducting point contacts with good agreement.
