The Implacable class was a pair of aircraft carriers built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War, derived from the Illustrious class but faster and able to carry more aircraft. Both ships joined the Home Fleet in 1944, attacked targets in Norway, and then served with the British Pacific Fleet against Japan in 1945. HMS Implacable was built by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Govan and laid down in 1939, while her sister Indefatigable was built by John Brown at Clydebank. After the war Implacable served as a training carrier for the Home Fleet.
