Championed by the likes of Awn Pugin and Herbert, the HMS Glorious 77 stood tall as a symbol of naval power. Alongside its sister ship, the HMS Courageous, these fleet aircraft carriers were at the forefront of maritime innovation. In a stunning portrait captured by Edwin Evans, the grandeur and strength of the HMS Courageous is immortalized. With W T Stead's pioneering investigative journalism, their stories reached far beyond just military might. The bravery and heroism displayed aboard these vessels became legendary tales that inspired generations to come. Not only did they serve as formidable warships during World War II, but they also played crucial roles in shaping history. It was on board the HMS Courageous that Andre Tardieu met with St Jean Eudes to discuss matters of great importance. The legacy of these championed ships lives on today through their remarkable contributions to naval warfare and international diplomacy. They remind us that true champions are not only found in sports arenas but can also be found among those who dedicate themselves to protecting our nations.
