Colossus class aircraft carrier HMS Glory (R62)
The ship was commissioned on 2 April 1945, and left for the Pacific with an air wing of Barracudas (837 Naval Air Squadron) and Corsairs (1831 Naval Air Squadron). At Sydney, she joined the 11th Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the British Pacific Fleet as the war was ending. Glory came to Rabaul shortly thereafter on 6 September 1945 to accept the surrender of the Japanese garrison there.

USS Valley Forge (CVS-45) underway in January 1959. Visible is the damage to the ship's port forward flight deck, caused by heavy seas in the Atlantic. The damaged part was replaced with the identical part of the flight deck from the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Franklin (CV-13).
