	HMS Ark Royal (91) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Ark Royal (91), was the third ship of the Royal Navy to carry the name and the second to be an aircraft carrier.
		As Ark Royal turned into the wind to launch aircraft in foggy conditions, two destroyers, HMS Antelope and HMS Electra collided, and had to return to England for urgent repairs.
		The primary cause of the loss of Ark Royal was therefore held to be the inexperience and poor judgement of those responsible for damage control.
