HMS Queen, 9,000 tons, 17 knots, Ruler-class escort carrier. Originally a US-made Bogue-class escort carrier, it was given to the British Navy as a lend-lease. It is said that there were cases where aircraft were accommodated in such a way that the aircraft had to be moved back and forth on a very narrow flight deck (about 150m x 20m). It is said to be surprisingly stable.
