 As a young lad with my brother in the 1950's we sailed into Belfast Harbour early one morning on the Ulster Prince from Liverpool. First we saw a couple of I think meteor jets fly in the we saw one complete Aircraft Carrier and the on partially built one. The name Ark Royal comes to mind but I may be mistaken. |

I don't think it is HMS Ark Royal but a later photo shows there are three more carriers around this one. I have a feeling they being built for foreign navies. |

The Ark Royal of the day was built by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead. HMS Eagle, finally completed late 1951, is one candidate.The light carriers HMS Centaur & HMS Hermes were completed in 1953/4. |
