Aircraft carriers served in the Royal Navy
since world war 2
When world war 2 started, the United Kingdom become involved in war on 3 continents.
United Kingdom has always had a strong navy because all imports of goods had to be done by ships.
To support land operations and protection of convoys it was built a large number of aircraft carriers.
A lot of the carriers that were built, were ships converted to aircraft carriers . Some of the carrier's was operated or transferred to other allies.
After the world war was over, some of the aircraft carrier was sold to other allies or converted to other kind of ships.
Since the end of the Cold War, the role of today's serving Invincible Class aircraft carriers (CVS) has evolved from one of sea control to maritime force projection.
In order to meet the needs of this shift in role, the CVS fleet has undergone a series of modifications and now embarks a Tailored Air Group (TAG).

The TAG principle achieves total flexibility and mission focus, the fixed wing element borne from an amalgamated force - known as Joint Force Harrier (JFH) - consisting of aircraft from both Royal Navy FA2 (until OSD 2006) and Royal Air Force GR7/7A Harrier squadrons.
The primary mission for the CVS is to deploy JFH and Fleet aircraft in pursuit of national objectives.
