EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Riviera: A Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier in the First World War This evocative photograph captures the HMS Riviera, a historic Royal Navy aircraft carrier that served during the First World War. Originally built as a fast Cross-Channel steamer, the Riviera was pressed into military service when the need for naval aviation capabilities became apparent. The image shows the HMS Riviera anchored at sea, with several aircraft visible on its flight deck. The ship's imposing silhouette against the backdrop of the open sea underscores its size and power. The Riviera was a crucial asset in the Royal Navy's efforts to maintain control of the seas during the First World War. The First World War marked a turning point in the history of naval warfare, with the increasing importance of aircraft carriers as mobile platforms for launching air attacks against enemy targets. The HMS Riviera was one of the earliest and most innovative examples of this new type of warship. Despite its military success during the First World War, the HMS Riviera was decommissioned in 1919 and returned to civilian use. However, it was once again called into service during the Second World War, demonstrating the versatility and enduring value of this remarkable vessel. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Royal Navy during the First World War, as well as the evolving nature of naval warfare. The HMS Riviera remains an important chapter in the history of both the Royal Navy and military aviation.
