I can see how a point of view may see 'infamous' may be used depending upon viewpoint. 'Numerous other collisions' what were these pray tell? How many crew members killed (aboard HMAS Melbourne?). 'Lost aircraft' what does that mean and how many? Then of course apart from 'collisions with destroyers (not fault of the carrier steaming on flying course at night) one would need to have some comparison with other carriers and their statistics. 'Never fired a shot in anger'? Good one. Still we have no idea of your own naval aviation experience.
