HMS Ruler

HMS Ruler was a Royal Navy escort aircraft carrier commissioned during World War II. Originally built as a merchant ship, it was converted to carry and operate military aircraft, supporting naval operations and providing air cover for fleet ships. HMS Ruler played a key role in various missions, particularly in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, offering vital support and protection during critical naval engagements. After the war, it was sold for scrap. The ship exemplifies the shift in naval warfare that increasingly integrated air power into maritime operations.
