History and Use of HMS Eagle

HMS Eagle was one of Britain’s main aircraft carriers, heavily used by the Royal Navy during World War II, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. The ship entered service in 1924 and actively supported supply convoys to Malta, taking part in numerous combat operations until its sinking in August 1942 during Operation Pedestal. This carrier was a symbol of the Allied fleet’s strength and a key component of Britain’s maritime defense throughout the interwar period and World War II.
