Looking down from the carrier's island on the snow-covered and crowded deck of HMS Emperor as she makes her way through the icy waters off Newfoundland with a shipment of Grumman Hellcats for the Fleet Air Arm. #WWII #WW2.

Hellcats warm up and prepare for launch on the snow-covered deck of HMS Emperor during abysmal weather conditions. The ship was deployed in March 1944 along with sister carriers HMS Searcher, Pursuer and Fencer to defend convoys.

From the deck of the aircraft carrier HMS Indomitable, where flight operations are underway, we observe the battleship HMS Howe (KGV) and a young but seasoned veteran: the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious. Indian Ocean, raid on Padang, August 1944💪
