Thorough served in the Far East for much of her wartime career, where she sank twenty seven Japanese sailing vessels, seven coasters, a small Japanese vessel, a Japanese barge, a small Japanese gunboat, a Japanese trawler, and the Malaysian sailing vessel Palange.

The RN’s submarine efforts in the Far East are some of the most overshadowed of the war, and often get ignored in favour of the USN’s efforts, which themselves are regularly overlooked.

Thanks @Redav
13 January 1937 The Admiralty orders the building of the Fleet aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious. The first aircraft carrier to be built at the Vickers Armstrong yard in Barrow-in-Furness. Frantic work began on producing around 2500 plans necessary for the construction of the ship, first known as Yard No.732, and these did not include ones for equipment and machinery that would be fitted.

HMS Illustrious (87) was, at that time, the fourth Royal Navy ship to and lead-ship of a new generation of aircraft carriers. Conceived in 1936 by Admiral Sir Reginald Henderson, Third Sea Lord & Controller of the Navy, he was determined not to simply modify the unarmoured Ark-Royal design. He believed aircraft could not sucessfully defend a carrier without an early-warning system; and the ship should be capable of remaining in action after sustaining some damage, which involved fitting an armoured, single storey hangar; and 3" thick armour on the flight deck. Launched on 5 April 1939, completion was delayed two months to allow fitting of the Type 79Z early warning radar, which required the addition of a second main mast at the after end of her island. Pictured here, under construction, in 1939
