Narrator has me super hyped about this ship
My Dad served on this ship - sometime around 1972 I think. I still remember going onboard on Family Day as a 6-year old and standing on the flight deck - what a thrill!!
Mine too.
My dad was on her last commission too. Handler. He would have been a Killick by then. Keith Furniss.
during the india pak war as well?
I flew out to Singers, in June 71 to join her as she was on her last commision, we returned to Pompey in February 72 where she was retired from service. She was then he last of the big carriers, although Ark Royal was still in commisionshe was narrower in the beam and shorter in length, and her catapult extensions then made her longer.
Tony do you remember any of your mates
My Grandad used to work on this ship ☺️
My father was involved with her last refit and I remember her moored with the Ark Royal off Devonport awaiting the scrapper.
Great viewing, what a ship! 👍
That is the later Eagle; the former may seem a bit more interesting with her two stacks on the island! Converted from unfinished battleship for Chilean Navy, she is sometimes believed to have been Britain's first TRUE carrier.
For over nine years I've lived in Telford Court in Herne Bay and for five of them I've known Chris Wood who served on the Eagle, and is now seventy-three. He was brought up in East Kent.
めちゃくちゃ画質いいな
my dad did 5 years on this ship in the engine rooms.
Must have been fun taking off in a Sea Vixen, not so sure about the landing, one rather large aircraft and a not very large deck!
Sadly it had a very high loss rate although I don't know what it was attributed to exactly
My uncle was a petty officer Douglas Bardsley
Make Britain Great again.
@schaeferschaefer2624. And all White only.
The days when the UK had real carriers
MY DAD WAS A CHEF ROYAL MARINE GUNS
back in 1968 the Indian Navy should have acquired HMS Ark Royal (R09) & HMS Eagle (R09) . . . two second hand (ex-Royal Navy) Audacious class 46,203 ton (53,000 ton loaded) multi mission (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by MFT Ni-C hybrid M-FEP system . . . acquisition cost £260 Mn - £340 Mn (approx) . . . plus the one that wasn't built
Never would have happened the Royal Navy planned at the time to run Eagle and Ark Royal into the 1980s
I thought Phantom couldn't operated on Eagle due to lack of deck strengthen
Phantoms were only embarked on Eagle for trials prior to embarking on Ark Royal.
I believe the RN version had reduced wingspan than the US version to allow use on RN carriers - Ark Royal and Eagle.
Nothing to do with deck strength, more jet blast and deck angle, among other things, all cancelled for Eagle thanks to Labour.
They repeatedly avoided adding updated blast deflectors too, just so they'd have an excuse to cut back phantom numbers and the ship
@@henryvagincourt4502 & the RAF! they said we didn't need carriers anymore as they could use their long range to cover! there has always been fighting between the FAA & the RAF.
karen free zone.
The ship that tried to enter bay of Bengal along with the 7th fleet of US navy, only to be encircled by the soviet cruisers and submarines and the Indian navy!
Your navy isn’t 500 years old. Overrated imo
When was that ? 1971 ?
@@stevenbevis9290 yes
BS. task force 74 was only trailed by Soviet and Indian forces. It was never encircled
Royal Navy is the most unroyal ever. Ran away from Russian Subs
Only because the Merlin helicopters could sink them so easily , they were tracked every inch of the way, any hostility would have been the end of them subs.
Are you kidding, an aircraft carrier is practically a sitting duck against a submarine
That’s not what royal means mate, retake English
@@samd1032 I think he may be confusing royal with noble, going by the name I am going to presume they speak an indian language, which is vastly different from english.
Although a latin speaker could understand ancient sanskrit
English colonist professors summoned here
and where is this carriers today ? brits cant even field a helicopter carrier
