↑ It was Swordfish bombers from the Ark Royal that took out the Bismarck's rudder during the pursuit that allowed the rest of the Royal Navy to catch up and corner the Bismarck.
↑ She was sunk by U-81 while returning to Gibraltar in 1941.
↑ The Fairey Swordfish she carried were slow and outdated by World War 2 standards. But were still fairly effective if they didn't encounter enemy air cover.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ Force H was the Royal Navy formation tasked with maintaining naval power in the Mediterranean.
↑ "Kidou Butai" literally means 'mobile force' but the IJN used the term to refer to their carrier task forces.
