"After taking part in several campaigns in Europe and North Africa, HMS Hermes was transferred to the Indian Ocean in 1941. She was refitted in South Africa between November 1941 and February 1942 before joining the Eastern Fleet at Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. After receiving a warning of an arriving Japanese fleet, she set sail for the Maldives without her air wing. Spotted by a Japanese scout plane on 9th April, she was attacked and sunk by Japanese dive bombers, and thus ended the career of the first laid aircraft carrier in the world"
