EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majesty and power of HMS Formidable, an Illustrious-class aircraft carrier of the British Royal Navy, during World War II. Launched in 1939 and commissioned in November 1940, Formidable was a formidable force to be reckoned with, both in size and capabilities. In this image, taken in 1941, HMS Formidable is shown at sea, with the sun casting a golden glow over its towering structure. The carrier, adorned with various aircraft on its flight deck, stands as a symbol of the British Navy's determination and resilience during the war. The historic significance of this photograph lies in the fact that HMS Formidable took part in one of the most decisive naval battles of World War II - the Battle of Cape Matapan, off the Greek coast in March 1941. During this battle, Formidable played a crucial role in the sinking of several Italian warships, including the battleship Vittorio Veneto. The victory marked a turning point in the Mediterranean campaign and boosted morale for the Allied forces. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the British sailors who served aboard HMS Formidable during this pivotal period in history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II and the important role the Royal Navy played in securing victory for the Allies.
