HMS Furious Carrier

HMS Furious began as an unusual British large light cruiser or battlecruiser-type design and was progressively converted into an aircraft carrier. Early experiments with separate flying-off and landing areas exposed the difficulties of operating aircraft around a central superstructure. Later reconstruction produced a more conventional carrier arrangement. She served in both world wars and supported wartime aircraft transport and strike operations. Furious changed from an extraordinary large-gun warship into an experimental aviation vessel and then a more conventional carrier, with successive reconstructions transforming the practical organization of her flight operations. Her experimental deck operations contributed practical lessons to British naval aviation. Those lessons were gained through repeated modifications rather than one flawless design adopted fully formed at the beginning.
