In 1943 she was lent to the Americans and served with their fleet in the Pacific, at one point flying 28 days of continuous combat operations, a record for a British carrier. After the war she spent almost eight years in Portsmouth Dockyard being rebuilt, at a cost of over £30 million, re-emerging in 1958 with an angled flight deck, steam catapults and the Type 984 radar. She served through the 1960s, mostly East of Suez, but after a fire during her refit in November 1967 she was never recommissioned, and she was broken up at Faslane in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
