LIGHT, 20 August 1954 Air Power at Sea H.M.S. EAGLE Eagle, an armed East Indiaman of the early 17th century; Eagle, The Royal Navy's largest aircraft carrier — first and twenty-first of England's fighting ships to bear the name. Eagle of 1625 carried twenty-two guns. Her modern successor launched in 1946 will operate Fairey Gannets, the latest and most powerful anti-submarine air weapon from a long line designed and produced by Fairey Aviation for the Fleet Air Arm. Much of the Navy's striking power rests in her carriers, a large proportion of whose aircraft now as hitherto are of Fairey design and construction. Crown copyright of the badge of H.M.S. "EAGLE" is reserved and reproduction is made by permission of the Admiralty and H.M. Stationery Office.
