	HMS Perseus (R51) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Perseus (R51) was a Colossus-class light fleet aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy.
		She was laid down by Vickers Armstrong on the Tyne on 1 January 1943, launched on 26 March 1944, and commissioned on 19 October 1945, thus missing World War II.
		In 1949, Perseus served as a trial vessel for one of the most important inventions for all conventional modern aircraft carriers, the steam catapult.

	Aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first purpose-designed aircraft carrier to be developed was the HMS Hermes, although the first one to be commissionned was the Japanese Hosho (commissioned in December 1922, followed by HMS Hermes in July 1923).
		However, the vulnerability of carriers to traditional battleships was quickly illustrated by the sinking of HMS Glorious by German battlecruisers during the Norwegian campaign in 1940.
		It was widely adopted following trials on HMS Perseus between 1950 and 1952 which showed it to be more powerful and reliable than the compressed air catapults which had been introduced in the 1930s.
