HMS Hermes (R12) Royal Navy Centaur Class Aircraft Carrier seen at HMNB Devonport during Navy Days in August 1977. This Royal Navy photo print captures the famous aircraft carrier during a public Navy Days event, presenting the scale, presence and historic character of one of the Royal Navy’s most recognisable post-war carriers. The Devonport setting, Centaur Class Aircraft Carrier subject and 1970s naval heritage make this a striking piece of military wall art, British maritime wall decor and naval aviation history display for collectors of Royal Navy warship prints.
HMS Hermes was a conventional British light Aircraft Carrier and the last of the Centaur Class in service with the Royal Navy from 1959 until 1984. She served as the flagship of the British forces during the 1982 Falklands War before being sold to India in 1986, where she was recommissioned and remained in service with the Indian Navy as INS Viraat until 2017.
This military wall art photo print is ideal for Royal Navy veterans, serving personnel, Centaur Class Aircraft Carrier enthusiasts, Falklands War naval history collectors and admirers of British maritime wall decor.
