A Cruiser converted to a Carrier...pretty remarkable really..

As always thank you for doing this, it has become a morning ritual to check your latest installment. I thought I was a bit of an amateur WWII historian but this has improved my knowledge immensely..

Just found these. Will start following these daily. Remarkable.

Back when the "Times" was run, edited and written by real men.
