EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Hermes, the first true purpose-designed aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy. Commissioned in 1924, the Hermes marked a significant milestone in naval aviation history. Its innovative configuration set the pattern for all later carriers, establishing the blueprint for the modern aircraft carrier. The Hermes was commissioned into the Royal Navy's Air Service in 1924, following extensive modifications to accommodate aircraft. Its flight deck, positioned at the rear of the ship, was a revolutionary feature that allowed for the takeoff and landing of aircraft at sea. The carrier's hangar, located below the flight deck, provided essential storage and maintenance facilities for the aircraft. The Hermes was the first in a long line of purpose-built British aircraft carriers, including the illustrious Illustrious and Victorious classes. Its historical significance lies in its pioneering role in the development of naval aviation, paving the way for the Royal Navy's formidable carrier fleet that would serve the country during World War II and beyond. This photograph, taken in 1919, documents the Hermes during its early days of service. The ship's distinctive silhouette, with its flight deck and funnel, stands out against the backdrop of the water. The aircraft on the flight deck, ready for takeoff, underscore the carrier's groundbreaking role in transporting and deploying aircraft at sea. The Hermes' legacy extends far beyond its own service life, as its design and innovations continue to influence the development of aircraft carriers around the world. This photograph is a testament to the Royal Navy's visionary approach to naval aviation and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of maritime technology.
