	The History of Royal Navy Aircraft Carriers
		A third Ark Royal entered service in 1938 and originally she was to have been joined by three sisterships, but more of the Illustrious Class were built instead.
		This attack effectively eliminated the Italian Navy but perhaps more significantly it demonstrated the power, ability and potential of the carrier and the attack was used as a model by the Japanese for their devastating attack on Pearl Harbour.
		Royal Marine Commandos and Assault helicopters took the place of jet aircraft, providing the Royal Navy with enhanced amphibious and assault capabilities.

		By the end of the Second Battle of the Atlantic, the RCN was the primary navy in the northwest sector of the Atlantic Ocean and was responsible for the safe escort of innumerable convoys, and the destruction of many U-boats - an anti-submarine capability that the RCN would build upon during the post-war.
		A planned transfer of two light aircraft carriers from the Royal Navy, HMCS Warrior and HMCS Magnificent was slowed, and when Warrior was found to be unsuitable for a North Atlantic winter, she was sent to the west coast and the next year was replaced by Magnificent, with Warrior being given back to the RN.
		The RCN was the first navy in the world to pioneer the use of ship-borne helicopters on small surface ships such as destroyers and frigates in the rough waters of the North Atlantic and Pacific.

		She is of 8,015 tons and measures 315 ft. by 62 ft., and is, in a sense, a modified Admiral, for the disposition of the armour is similar, though reduced in thickness from 18 in.
		That in the destroyer we have at length arrived at the type of vessel which this country needs to meet the torpedo-boat threat is generally acknowledged and admitted by naval men at home and abroad.
		It is, however, to be remembered that while in the destroyer we have a vessel capable of doing all that was required of the torpedo-boat, with the improvement in speed and habitability there has been soma loss of invisibility, one of the qualities most essential to the success of a torpedo-boat attack.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot Scrap Iron Flotilla Intro
		Long before the first troopships left with the men who were to make their own “lightning war” in Egypt and Libya, the five little destroyers had sailed without fuss or farewells or bands or streamers, and three months after war was declared they were in the battle arena.
		At Navy Office, Melbourne, where England’s declaration of war was expected hourly, the telegram “Total Germany, repeat total Germany” was the signal for rapid mobilization of reservists, conversion of modern liners into auxiliary cruisers and of tugs and trawlers into minesweepers, and for the defensive armament of merchant ships.
		The destroyers did not leave together, but met in Singapore where exercises were carried out in an atmosphere that seemed far removed from war.
