? | + | HMS ''Implacable'' was an ''Implacable''-class aircraft carrier built for the Royal Navy during World War II. Upon completion in 1944, she was initially assigned to the Home Fleet and attacked targets in Norway for the rest of the year. She was subsequently assigned to the British Pacific Fleet (BPF) where she attacked the Japanese naval base at Truk and targets in the Japanese Home Islands in 1945. The ship was used to repatriate liberated Allied prisoners of war (PoWs) and soldiers after the Japanese surrender, for the rest of the year. ''Implacable'' returned home in 1946 and became the Home Fleet's deck-landing training carrier, a role that lasted until 1950. She briefly served as flagship of the Home Fleet in 1950. During this time she participated in many exercises and made a number of port visits in Western Europe. She was placed in reserve in 1950 and converted into a training ship in 1952, and served as flagship of the Home Fleet Training Squadron. The ship was considered for a major modernization in 1951–52, but this was rejected as too expensive and time-consuming. ''Implacable'' was decommissioned in 1954 and sold for scrap the following year. | ||

Implacable — British Tier VIII aircraft сarrier.
Illustrious-class aircraft carriers were designed based on effective Ark Royal, but they received reinforced armor. To comply with the treaty limitations on displacement, the hangar capacity was reduced to mere 36 aircraft. The Implacable class emerged as an improved series with the hangar capacity increased to 60 aircraft. HMS Implacable was engaged in operations against German ships in Norway and was transferred to the Pacific afterward. The aircraft carrier took part in supporting the landing on Okinawa and in operations against Japanese aviation near Honshu.
