hms indefatigable (r10)

HMS Indefatigable (R10) was an Implacable-class aircraft carrier of the British Royal Navy. Built at the famous John Brown yard on Clydeside, Indefatigable was commissioned around September 1943. The first captain was Captain Q D Graham. The first mission (rather in the form of a 'working-up' exercise) was a set of raids on the German battleship Tipitz. It was not a spectacular success with all sorts of equipment problems showing up. The ship's squadrons operated a number of aiicraft types including the Supermarine Seafire and Fairey Firefly. After dockyard work on the problems the ship sailed on 19 November 1944 for the Far east to join the British Pacific Fleet as flagship of Rear-Admiral Philip Vian (Vian of Cossack) who commanded the carrier group of the BPF. He transferred his flag to Indomitable on arrival at Colombo on 10 December 1944. On 1 April 1945, while operating in support of the Okinawa operation, the ship was hit at the base of the superstructure by a kamikaze suicide bomber. The ship was unable to operate aircraft for about 5 hours. See HMS Indefatigable for other ships of this name. Indefatigable
