During World War II, the battle for Norway was launched in April 1940, and the dive bombers of the HMS Ark Royal bombed a German light cruiser. During the war, the “Ark Royal” mainly covered the transport fleet in the Mediterranean.
The most famous battle of the “Ark Royal” was to annihilate the German Bismarck battleship in May 1941. The torpedo bomber of the “Ark Royal” destroyed its rudder, and bought time for the British fleet to finally sink the Bismarck.
On November 13, 1941, after carrying the aircraft to the island of Malta, the “Ark Royal” returned to Gibraltar 50 nautical miles and was hit by a torpedo fired by a German submarine.
