Esto está en: British Aircarft Series de David Hobbs.

En el capítulo 24 los ubica junto a los dos Colossus que citó @Daishi como "Maintenace Carriers"

"Unicorn Unicorn was ordered from Harland & Wolff’s Belfast yard on 14 April 1939 as a ‘Fleet Air Arm Supply and Repair Ship’, allocated Admiralty Job Number J 3746 and Yard Number 1031. Her designation was subsequently changed to the less complicated ‘Aircraft Maintenance Carrier’. Her order was clearly anticipated, and she was laid down on 29 June 1939 and launched on 20 November 1941. Construction was delayed slightly by an instruction in 1940 to give priority to the construction of escorts, but in 1942 the Admiralty ordered work on her to be hastened for completion as an operational carrier, without the complete outfit of workshop equipment.

De paso el libro está muy bueno (lo pesqué al inicio de la cuarentena en PDF).....
