HMS Ark Royal V R07
Royal Navy 'Invincible' class aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal V R07 leaves Devonport Naval Base at Western Kings on 27th August 1991, having attended the 1991 Navy Days at Devonport. HMS Ark Royal was the fifth ship to bare the name Ark Royal and the third and final member of the 'Invincible' class. Originally intended to be called Indomitable, her name was changed after the public sadness at the scrapping of her iconic namesake, Ark Royal IV in 1979. Built by Swan Hunters at Wallsend Shipyard, she was launched by HM The Queen Mother on 2nd June 1981, and entered into service with the Royal Navy service on 1st July 1985, and during her 25 years of service was involved with conflicts in the Adriatic and during the Bosnian and Iraq wars, finally being decommissioned on 11th March 2011. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auKVdl0T-to
