Notes:
In 1978 Ark Royal sounded her final 'finished with engines' and with that it seemed 60 years of aircraft carrier development and operational use were at an end. However, the Falklands' crisis renewed Britain's faith in her carriers Hermes and Illustrious, and proved that their days of usefulness were far from over. During their time in service with the Royal Navy, carriers have been armed with the most flexible and powerful combinations of weapons available. This is the story of the British-built carriers which embody two great skills - flying and seafaring.
