History & Authenticity
HMS Ark Royal (R09) was the fourth Royal Navy ship to bear the name and the last of the Audacious‑class carriers. Launched in 1950 and commissioned in 1955, she served as Britain’s flagship carrier during the Cold War. Modernized to operate jet aircraft, Ark Royal featured an angled flight deck, steam catapults, and advanced arrestor gear — a powerful symbol of mid‑20th century naval innovation.
