HMS Formidable – Lumbering Into Gunfight (And Shrugging Off Kamikazes)

Few British carriers are as well known as HMS Formidable. For both historical and...non-historical reasons.

This was a ship that took a serious pounding, across both theaters of the war. Yet came back for more, each time, even as it wore the ship down. Formidable served long and hard, until the ship was completely spent. In the end, the damage would relegate the ship to the scrappers torch.

But, before that, Formidable gave excellent service in every theater of the war.
