		The Royal Navy continued to provide blue water defence in the Pacific until World War Two, when expansion of the RAN saw the acquisition of aircraft carriers, and other large surface vessels.
		By the mid-late 1960s, the RAN was at the zenith of its operational capabilities; it was capable of despatching a full carrier battle group in support of major operations by having in service an aircraft carrier, three large area defence destroyers of the Perth class, six modern "River" class frigates and four Oberon class submarines.
		To compensate for the delay, HMS Vengeance was loaned to the RAN and served from 1952 to 1955, when the new carrier was finally completed.
