Naval loans to the USA during the WWII
In late 1942 following the loss of USS Hornet and damage to USS Enterprise in the battle of Santa Cruz, the US Navy had only one fleet carrier, USS Saratoga for service in the Pacific. In response to an American plea for carrier reinforcement, HMS Victorious was withdrawn from the Home Fleet and sent to the United States for a refit to suit her to the conditions of war in the Pacific: amongst other more warlike modifications, she was also fitted with an ice-cream maker and Coca-Cola machines.
By May 1943 she was ready to join USS Saratoga on operations in the Pacific, and with the American carrier provided cover to the fleet assembled for the invasion of New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. For the purposes of security, signals generally referred to HMS Victorious as 'USS Robin' while she was serving alongside the Americans, but she was generally known amongst them as ‘the Limey flat top’.
By July 1943 the first of the new American 'Essex' and 'Independence' classes of aircraft carriers were entering service, and HMS Victorious returned to the war against Germany, although in 1945 she went back to the Pacific with the British Pacific Fleet for the final operations of the War. HMS Victorious was finally broken up in 1969.
