  5. She carried more aircraft 48 vs 36) and was as fast or faster than the Illustrious class. Her half sister Furious lasted until 1944 before being laid up. Both the Glorious and Courageous were lost due to stupidity (You don't send a fleet carrier looking for subs. Courageous found one, with terminal results)

  6. It took so long to design and build her nuclear power plant

  9.  @johnlavery3433  That's what the US Presidential Unit Citation is for. My dad had the citation with one bronze star for his time on the San Jacinto (CVL-30)

  10. Bull shit. The commander's job is preservation of his ships and men. He had just had one of Germany's two heaviest ships crippled and he had no idea what was over the horizon. For all he knew, the Glorious was heading to a rendezvous with British capital units. It's one thing to risk a destroyer or two (which they didn't have - for all the comments about British stupidity only providing two destroyers, S&G were sailing alone) for rescue operations, a whole 'nother thing to risk your country's entire force of capital ships
