	HMS Furious (47)
		HMS Furious was designed as one of Jacky Fisher's 'large light cruisers' to undertake an amphibious landing on the Baltic coast of Germany during the First World War.
		The aircraft handling arrangements proving unsatisfactory (in order to land, aircraft had to maneouvre around the superstructure), the ship returned to the dockyard to have the aft turret removed and replaced by another, 300 foot deck for landing and a second hanger, thus making the ship a pure aircraft carrier.
		After the end of the war, Furious was sent to reserve, where she remained while the Royal Navy commissioned other aircraft carriers.
