 Keep User:Hydrargyrum uploaded new versions of the two USN photos File:HMS Ark Royal USS Nimitz Norfolk2 1978.jpeg and File:HMS Ark Royal USS Nimitz Norfolk1 1978.jpeg. However, the USN WRONGLY identifies the carrier as HMS Hermes (R12). Date and carrier are wrong. The carrier depicted is clearly HMS Ark Royal (R09). Hermes is easily identifiable by the deck-edge elevator on the port side at the end of the angled deck. Ark Royal had both elevators on the midship line, as clearly visible on one of the photos.

To see that the ship is really Ark Royal and about the correctness of the date see here [1] and here [2] (page 50). Cobatfor (talk) 18:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
