Olddog... "Part of the reason for it being so named was in recognition of the success of the successful Hawker Nimrod biplane which helped you chaps learn that carrier ops were a possibility!"
Wasn't that a lot of years after we backward Colonials had
already modified one collier (see USS Langley) to a carrier, and had such success with it (and in operating aircraft from it) that we had modified 2 partially complete Battlecruiser hulls to full Carriers (see USS Lexington & USS Saratoga)? Which were, by the way, far better carriers than your own such conversions (see HMS Courageous, Glorious, Furious)!
All in the friendly spirit of "family fueds", of course...
