The HMS Ark Royal was instrumental in sinking the Bismarck with the Fairey Swordfish planes it carried during the German Operation Rheinuebung. Later it served in the mediterranean escorting convoys, a mission where it would ultimately sink in late 1941. In FHSW it's still in Desert Rose set in 1942 and FHT Operation Dracula in 1945. On the latter map it carries Grumman F8F "Bearcat" aircraft. The regular load of aircraft are Fairey Swordfish with different loads, bombs, torpedoes, or rockets or both of the latter.
