This is a superb looking book and is a history of this
British aircraft carrier, which spent much of her life in refit or reserve. Her
active duty periods were indeed very busy and included the invasion of Iraq in
2003. Many anecdotes are included from former commanding officers and those
with a role in the life of the ship. Luckily it appears this famous name will
go in the future with a new HMS Ark Royal about 2020 or so.
This book is Maritime Books at their best, bringing Royal Navy history to life for future generations.
