HMS Ark Royal was sunk 14th of November 1941 by German submarine U-81 but it seems to have risen from the dead and is set to appear in the pacific theater in Nov. 44?

That does seem strange. Perhaps it could be joined by the HMS Hood?

There are several mistakes in the Royal Navy OOB for Pacific including this one.
HMS Ark Royal was never in the Pacific.

From the wikipedia:

Five ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Ark Royal:

Ark Royal (1587), the flagship of the English fleet during the Spanish Armada campaign of 1588
HMS Ark Royal (1914), planned as freighter, built as seaplane carrier during the First World War, renamed Pegasus in 1934
HMS Ark Royal (91), British aircraft carrier launched in 1937 that participated in the Second World War and was sunk by a U-boat in 1941
HMS Ark Royal (R09), an Audacious-class aircraft carrier launched in 1950, decommissioned in 1979
HMS Ark Royal (R07), an Invincible-class aircraft carrier, launched in 1981, decommissioned in 2011

You can always rename it.

Now now let's be reasonable. lol

HMS Ark Royal II?

After all there was a Lexington, Yorktown, Wasp and Hornet II.

Illustrious isn't on the OOB but did feature in the Pacific campaign. That would be one option for renaming. Edit: Meant to say HMS Invincible. Re-edit. Lost the plot no such CV in WW2. Ark Royal needs removing from the OOB as all the possible CV's are already catered for.

Ark Royal plus Eagle and Malta would be better names for the CV's available to buy. Powerful and Majestic were Majestic class CVL's so could be in that build list.

Leviathan should probably be removed from the build queue as it was never laid down and also would have been a CVL. Could add some more of the Malta class names into the available to buy CV list.

This is wrong. HMS Illustrious is already in the game. Arrival on March 21, 1944.

Already here, I am asking for its removal:

Apologies, meant HMS Invincible. Have edited original post.

Sorry, HMS Invincible? In WW2? Which class of UK aircraft carriers is it?

I can't find it on the web.

There is no HMS Invincible as a WW2 carrier.

Okay, I've lost the plot. [&:].

Original post re-re edited.

I got NCC's list to work on for next patch.
