  Royal Australian Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN} is the naval branch of the Australian Defence Force.
Majestic, although the name ship of the class, was not as near completion at the end of the war as Terrible and the RAN decided to have her construction completed with the latest Royal Navy carrier innovations of the time - the angled flight deck and a mirror landing aid.
The ships are planned to operate a number of helicopters and the Defence Department has stated that there is a possibility that they may extend the proposed order of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters for the RAAF to include STOVL versions for the RAN to use on the new ships.

 Journeys in Time: Ships
In this list those ships mentioned specifically in the text of Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie's journals are marked with an asterisk *.
Ships' tonnages must be regarded as approximate; for some vessels made a number of different voyages with various cargoes, and often underwent a refit to accommodate the goods or people that they were transporting.
Similarly, their comments on the vessels on which they sailed tended to be brief, limited to listing the comfort (or discomfort) that they experienced, and only indirectly describing the workings of the ship and its crew.

She was widely considered the pride of the Royal Navy and was often used for ceremonial duties and showing the flag.

Lighters were placed from the ship to the quay to be used as gangways for the stevedores and crew to go to the shelters during attacks.
Both supply vessels were eventually sunk, but a few weeks later they learned that the ships had nevertheless managed to do their job; their cargo of bombs had been unloaded, placed on aircraft which in turn came over Trapani airport and dropped them on the Germans there, causing great damage.
