Agreed. When it came to developing carriers, Britian was at the top. HMS Furious, HMS Hermes and HMS Argus were all revolutionary for their time. The only other firsts in carrier design was with Japan, but that was just the Hosho and the fact that she was the first carrier commissioned to be built up as a carrier, rather than converted. I know it is said she was converted from a seaplane tender, but hey, it is not too bad.

Didn't the Japanese also launched the first airraid in history?
