To clarify on the carriers, the first was HMS Invincible, which was planned to be sold to the Australians. The second was HMS Illustrious which was finished at the rush in order to take over from the others after the initial recovery of the islands had taken place.

The third was HMS Ark Royal, which I suspect will be our last carrier, since I think one of Gordons likely first moves will be to bin the new ones.
