Victory at Sea: HMS Illustrious

Description

Designed as the next generation of advanced carriers, the Illustrious-class was shorter than the HMSArk Royalbut displaced a similar amount. Greater armour meant a small hangar, however, and so less aircraft could be carried. The HMSIllustriousis best known for its part in the attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto, where its Fairey Swordfish disabled or sunk their targets with great success. After celebrated service in the Mediterranean, theIllustriouswas later to see service with the Eastern Fleet and then the Pacific Fleet.
