HMS Courageous 50

Royal Navy - HMS Courageous 50, an aircraft carrier, seen in July 1936, (formerly a battle-cruiser). HMS Courageous was the lead ship of her class of three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. Courageous was completed in late 1916 and spent the war patrolling the North Sea and participated in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight in November 1917. Courageous was rebuilt as an aircraft carrier during the mid-1920s. She spent most of her career operating off Great Britain and Ireland. She briefly became a training ship, but reverted to her normal role a few months before the start of the Second World War in September 1939. Courageous was torpedoed and sunk in the opening weeks of the war, going down with more than 500 of her crew. Date: 1936
