USN:
View on the flight deck of USS Franklin (CV-13), looking forward, while the carrier was in New York Harbor (USA), circa 28 April 1945. She had just returned from the Pacific for repair of battle damage received off Japan on 19 March 1945. Note the damage to her flight deck, the large U.S. ensign flying from her island, and the Manhattan skyline in the background.

She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, with the loss of over 800 of her crew, becoming the most heavily damaged United States aircraft carrier to survive the war.

France:
Aircraft taking off from aircraft carrier Bearn, commissioned in 1927, she sat out most of WW2 in the French West Indies. colourised by Irootoko Jr.

The ship's pilots took part in the last ditch attempt to slow down German columns during the Fall of France in dive bombing operations.

Flying their carrier-borne aircrafts they suffered significant losses against the Luftwaffe, so much that at the end, only the fighter squadron (which were equipped with more modern planes during the battle) remained untouched and was relocated in North Africa.
