HMS Ark Royal (R09) was an Audacious-class aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy and, when she was decommissioned in 1978, was the Royal Navy’s last remaining conventional catapult and arrested-landing aircraft carrier. She was the Royal Navy’s first aircraft carrier to be equipped with an angled flight deck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Ark_Royal_(R09)
