The cover showed a modern British warship steaming south, and the title:

Not that modern. HMS Hermes, 23 years in commission at that stage. originally ordered in 1943.

HMS Invincible was the brand new ship.

Where are they now?

HMS Hermes (sold to India, now INS Viraat.)

HMS Invincible (sold to Turkey, now scrap.)

At least she's still serving a free nation, with a representative government.

HMS Invincible (sold to Turkey, now scrap.)

Now that is a sad end indeed for a proud ship.
