EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, HMS Hermes (R12) sails majestically into Algiers Harbour in August 1960. The British aircraft carrier, with its distinctive angled flight deck, cuts an impressive figure against the calm Mediterranean waters. As the sun casts a golden glow over the scene, a pair of Sea Hawk jet aircraft take off from the deck, their contrails trailing behind them like ribbons in the sky. HMS Hermes, commissioned in 1959, was the Royal Navy's first post-war aircraft carrier. It was designed to operate the new Sea Hawk jet fighters, which could be catapulted from the deck and recovered using a ski-jump ramp. The ship's deployment to the Mediterranean was part of the UK's commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the region during the early years of the Cold War. The photograph captures a moment of transition, as the carrier enters the harbour to resupply and refuel before continuing its mission. The planes on the deck are poised for takeoff, ready to defend the ship and protect British interests in the area. The image is a testament to the power and versatility of the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier fleet, and the vital role they played in safeguarding global security during a time of political and geopolitical upheaval. The photograph also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when aircraft carriers were the epitome of maritime might and technological innovation. Today, HMS Hermes may be a relic of the past, but its legacy continues to inspire and influence the design of modern naval vessels. This powerful and evocative image is a fitting tribute to the ship and its crew, and a reminder of the important role that the Royal Navy continues to play in protecting the UK and its interests around the world.
