	HMS Implacable (R86) Information
		HMS Implacable (R86) was an Implacable-class aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy.
		In 27 November 1944 Fairey Barracuda planes from the carrier bombed two Norwegian ships carrying Allied prisoners of war, killing 2,571 onboard the Rigel, one of the largest maritime disasters ever.
		She joined the carrier squadron as replacement for Illustrious, which was due to return to the United Kingdom for a major refit.

	Audacious class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Audacious class aircraft carrier was a class of ship proposed by the British government in the 1930s - 1940s.
		The Audacious class was originally designed as an expansion of the Implacable class with double storied hangars.
		However, it was realised that the hangar height would not be sufficient for the new aircraft that were expected to enter service, so the design was considerably enlarged.

		Midway was, in fact, followed by nearly two years of war in which carriers notably failed to deliver knockout blows of the kind most proponents of new technology promise for their innovations.
		This seeming discrepancy between the emergence of the carrier as the dominant capital ship in 1942 and its full manifestation as the decisive weapon in naval warfare in 1944 was caused by a chronic shortfall in carriers and operational aircraft.
		Because carriers were so widely needed, and because of losses, battle damage, overhauls, and transit times to the many theaters of operation, the British rarely got the chance to mass their carriers.

		This class was a further development of the Illustrious class with a flight deck of 760ft effective lenght, 50ft above the deep load waterline.
		Petrol stowage was 94.650gal, which was low for the 81 aircraft that evantually could be carried with a deck park.
		The light AA guns were increased by 8-2pdr (2x4), 4 single 40mm Bofors and 51 20mm Oerlikons in Implacable and by 10 single 40mm Bofors and 40 20mm Oerlikons in Indefatigable.

		To maximize deck space for aircraft operations, these twin mounts were worked into a four turret arrangement at the ends of the island with two in front and two aft of the islands with gun mounts two and three in superfiring positions.
		Although pre-war carrier aircraft complements had a very ordered and colorful markings developed that distinguished the aircraft from one carrier to the next, when prewar yellow wings gave way to gray and then blue wings, the standardized aircraft scheme was dropped.
		The tail of each aircraft from the upper tip to its base where it joined the fuselage was in a four horizontal white stripe pattern with the upper and lower stripes being about twice the width of the two middle stripes.

	The Starfleet Museum - Pyotr Velikiy and Constitution Classes
		The projected new class was to have greatly improved speed, range, firepower, and scientific facilities and be able to undertake unsupported missions lasting 5 years with a crew of more than 400.
		Because the PYOTR VELIKIY class, like the CONSTITUTION class, was intended to explore far beyond the borders of the Federation on independent missions lasting as long as 5 years, maintenance of warp capability far from support facilities was a primary concern.
		USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701), named for the 20th century aircraft carrier of the American Navy, followed in November 2245 and was placed under the command of Commodore April as a reward for his rescuing the CONSTITUTION-class development project from almost certain failure.

		Aircraft Carrier Victorious provides, literally, a highly detailed view of the Royal Navy’s largest warship to serve actively both in World War II and in the 1960s fleet.
		HMS Victorious is perhaps most famous for her first combat operation when her Swordfish aircraft damaged the Bismarck in the North Atlantic and aggravated the wastage of fuel that exhausted the fleeing battleship.
		Her aircraft ranged from Swordfish biplanes to Buccaneer jet bombers that in RAF service fought in the Gulf War in 1991.

	Were Armored Flight Decks on British Carriers Worthwhile?
		By contrast, the USN carriers had a hangar clear height of 20 feet in the Lexington class, 17 feet 3 inches in the Yorktown class and 17 feet 6 inches in the Essex class.
		The real point of difference is that the Essex class had an external hangar, that is, the hangar is located outside the ship's girder while the Illustrious class had an internal hangar; that is, the hangar is contained within the ship's girder.
		The protection in Implacable and Indefatigable was also similar to the Illustrious class except that the hangar side and end protection was reduced to 60 lbs.

		Though late coming, she had hardly been launched when a new 'Illustrious' class of four aircraft-carriers was laid down in 1937 to respond to the already increasing likelihood of war.
		Operational experience was, therefore, not a part of the later concept, which took the scale of the Ark Royals belt and horizontal protection, and added a 114mm (4.5-in) hangar well.
		Thus the whole of the vulnerable aircraft accommodation became an armoured box, but so much weight high in the ship limited the protection to only one hangar and, though HMS Illustrious, HMS Victorious and HMS Formidable (all launched in 1939) were not significantly smaller than the Ark Royal, they carried far fewer aircraft.

		Implacable was ordered in 1938 and her sister ship in the Implacable Class, HMS Indefatigable was ordered a year later.
		Implacable took 5 years to build, and by the time she was completed her sister was fully operational and already at sea in combat.
		The Implacable Class carriers were a follow-on from the Illustrious class which took Indomitable's modifications a stage further with a full length two-level hangar.

		Instead, they were completed as attack transports capable of carrying 6000 to 10,000 combat troops, serving another vital role in projecting power across wide oceans.
		The UK converted 6 escort carriers on their own, plus a large number of MACs (merchant escort carriers, which were merchant ships with a small air det--1 to 3 fighters on board).
		They were heavily used as aircraft transports; it took a considerable train of CVEs to keep the fleet carriers full.

		The Indefatigable was a Implacable class carrier which itself was a improvement on the Illustrious class carriers and resembled very closely.
		IIRC Illustrious and Implacable class carriers could not hold F4U Corsairs in the hangar deck because the folded wings hit the roof.

		The Lexington class of converted battlecruisers, however, the largest carriers in American service until USS Midway, were capable of carrying over 70 aircraft, around the same as the smaller Yorktown and not much less then the original design specification for the similarly sized Essex.
		The general thinking was that carrier aircraft would not be able to effectively compete against land based aircraft (which given the aircraft that the FAA had, is not an unreasonable assumption).
		Actually, USS Princeton was sunk by Kamikazie, the only fleet carrier to be sunk by kamikazie (note that she was a light carrier) and USS Yorktown was sunk by torpedo, but by friendly torpedo as she was heavily damaged by dive-bombers.The Yorktown was sunk by a Jap sub using torpedos you dolt.

		American carriers kept their aircraft parked on deck and used the hangar deck as a service area, unlike the practice in most other navies of storing planes in the hangar deck.
		This allowed the Essex class to carry an enormous air group: 90 airplanes as designed, raised to 108 late in the war through use of outrigger stowage despite the greater size and weight of late-war aircraft.
		They can carry 18 steps of aircraft, twice the capacity of the biggest Japanese ships, and as we saw in an earlier piece those aircraft are far more capable than what Japan can put into the air.

		Completed some 30 months after the four Illustrious class ships, the two Implacable class aircraft-carriers were more closely related to the prototype Ark Royal, with the hangar walls slimmed down to only 38 mm (1.5 in).
		Though both were laid down in 1939, HMS Implacable and HMS Indefatigable were launched in 1942 and 1944 respectively, but their completion went back because of higher shipyard priorities.
		Though damaging the target sufficiently to keep her almost permanently under repair, the aircraft of the time were the ship's weakest link until they were replaced.
