	HMS Illustrious (R06) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fifth HMS Illustrious (R06) is an Invincible-class light aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy, affectionately known as 'Lusty' to her crew.
		It turned out that no deployment was made before Illustrious was relieved by HMS Ocean (L12) in early 2002, but the ship had made a valuable contribution to British options in the conflict, providing a launching point for ground forces, had they been needed.
		HMS Illustrious is currently located in the Mediterranean operating from Gibraltar.

		HMS Ark Royal (R07), the last Invincible-class light aircraft carrier, is the current flagship of the Royal Navy.
		Her name was originally intended to be Indomitable to be similar with her sister ships (HMS Invincible and HMS Illustrious), but public resentment at the scrapping of the previous Ark Royal (Britain's last large aircraft carrier) in 1980, led the Royal Navy to announce that her name would be revived on the new ship.
		Ark Royal is slightly larger than her sister ships and during construction she was fitted with a steeper ski-jump ramp, (twelve degrees, as opposed to seven degrees of the Invincible) to improve STOVL take-off performance for the Harrier aircraft.
