	Aircraft Carriers
		The carrier was underway in the Gulf of Thailand en route to a port visit in Guam when the incident flared, resulting in the death of the Chinese pilot and forcing the damaged Orion to land on Hainan Island.
		Carriers can withstand considerable damage, thanks to their large size, the distribution of redundant systems throughout the ship, their high-strength steel and sophisticated armor, their ballistic plating, and their underwater protective systems.
		The carrier's ability to withstand severe punishment was--unfortunately and unintentionally--vividly demonstrated in 1969 when nine 500-pound bombs (the equivalent of six Soviet cruise missiles at the time) exploded on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise during a fire resulting from the detonation of a rocket's warhead.

	Centaur class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Centaur class of aircraft carriers of the British Royal Navy was the last of the light fleet carrier designs started during the closing years of World War II.
		Originally conceived as a class of eight vessels, with the end of hostilities, work on all the ships was suspended and four units were cancelled outright.
		With the extended completion periods of the units, and the rapid advances in aircraft carrier design at the time of their building, it was almost inevitable that large differences should be seen between the various members of the class.

	Audacious class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Audacious class aircraft carrier was a class of ship proposed by the British government in the 1930s - 1940s.
		The Audacious class was originally designed as an expansion of the Implacable class with double storied hangars.
		However, it was realised that the hangar height would not be sufficent for the new aircraft that were expected to enter service, so the design was considerably enlarged.

	Colossus Class Light Fleet Aircraft Carriers
		Aircraft cranes, workshops, deck houses and defensive anti-aircraft weapons were added to the flight deck and although space was provided for aircraft deck parking, all equipment necessary to operate aircraft was absent, and consequently aircraft were hoisted aboard.
		The eight Colossus class carriers were not units of the Centaur and exempt from the cuts, particularly as they were slower and carried fewer aircraft than other classes.
		Aircraft Carriers were vital in the Korean War (1950-3), providing mobile airfields for allied warplanes and four Royal Navy Colossus Class vessels participated in the three year conflict.

		For this reason, and because she was designed as a fleet carrier from the start, she showed a considerable improvement over the earlier carriers and set the pattern for all subsequent fleet carriers.
		The flight deck, instead of being carried by the hull, was incorporated as part of its structure; the side plating continued up to the flight deck, resulting in a fully enclosed bow that was to become a distinctive feature of British aircraft carriers.
		In May 1941, Ark's aircraft were involved in the hunt for and destruction of the German Battleship Bismarck, her Swordfish scoring the two torpedo hits that jammed the battleship's rudder and slowed her sufficiently for the Home Fleet to catch and destroy her on 26 May 1941.
