In company with H.M.S. Invincible, the 28,000-ton aircraft carrier Hermes, commanded by Captain L. E. Middleton, D.S.O., shared in the provision of almost all the air power of the campaign, her operational capacity amounting to 15 Sea Harriers and six Harrier GR3’s, in addition to assorted helicopter types. She was the flagship of Rear-Admiral “Sandy” Woodward.
