Colossus Class Light Fleet Aircraft Carriers |
 | | The Colossus Class was designed with a displacement of 18,300 tons and measurements of 630ft in length, 80ft in breadth and 23ft in draught. |
 | | Colossus, with Barracudas and Corsairs embarked, joined the 11th Aircraft Carrier Squadron at Sydney and joined the Pacific Fleet as the war was ending. |
 | | Accordingly in 1951 Colossus was bought outright and renamed Arromanches, commemorating the British sector of the Normandy Landings. |
