HMS Eagle

HMS Eagle was a British aircraft carrier, initially launched in 1951, serving as a key naval asset for the Royal Navy. Designed to carry and operate aircraft at sea, it allowed the UK to project power globally, supporting military operations and diplomacy. Over its service, HMS Eagle underwent upgrades to improve its capabilities before being decommissioned in 1985. Today, it’s remembered as a symbol of British naval strength during the Cold War era.
