The RN Carrier that served with the US Pacific was HMS Victorious. She had the bump in her flight deck until she was eventually scrapped in 1969.
<<First Pacific Service
After a refit in the
United States at the
Norfolk Navy Yard during the winter of 1942-43,
Victorious sailed through the
Panama Canal to operate with the United States forces in the
Pacific. During this time, the code name for the carrier was USS Robin, from the character "Robin Hood," as the US Navy was temporarily "poor" in carriers. In April 1943,
Victorious sailed for
Pearl Harbor to join
Saratoga's Battle Group, at that time the only operational American carrier in the
Pacific. Her operations in the South Pacific area were conducted in the
Solomon Islands. During this time
Victorious was home to US Navy fighter squadron VF-6, flying F4F Wildcats, as well as its own Wildcats of No. 832 Squadron (832 Squadron's Avengers were at this time detached to
Saratoga). Between May and July, 1943,
Victorious and
Saratoga provided air support for Allied forces, including the invasion of
New Georgia. In late 1943,
Victorious returned to the
UK, to the naval base at
Scapa Flow. The refit had included the addition of such typically American appliances such as soda machines and ice cream freezers which were ridiculed by the sailors of the Royal Navy upon its return to them.>>
