Description
The 1942 Design Light Fleet Carrier, otherwise known as the Colossus and Majestic classes. Though they weren't completed in time for WWII, the ships served throughout many different wars and gave Naval Aviation capability to many Navies. The Carriers served under the Royal Navy, Armada de la República Argentina, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, Brazilian Navy, Marine nationale, Indian Navy and the Royal Netherlands Navy.
This particular carrier is the HMAS Melbourne, which sunk more friendly ships than enemy ships during its' service

Well, there's an interesting record...
Its debatable whether the ship was haunted with stupidity or the crew. I say a bit of both...
