The Ship and Its History

HMS Hermes was the world's first ship built from the ground up as an aircraft carrier. She entered service with the Royal Navy in the 1920s and actively participated in military operations during World War II. In 1942, HMS Hermes operated in the Indian Ocean, taking part in the defense of Ceylon against Japanese air attacks. Unfortunately, she was sunk on April 9, 1942 by Japanese aircraft, but forever became a part of the Royal Navy's history.
