HMS Furious is a classic story of a ship that would probably have suffered in her original role, becoming a trendsetter in a different guise. From one of the more ill-advised British battlecruiser designs, to what could be argued as the first aircraft carrier.

And even if you prefer to look at other ships, such as HMS Argus, for that title...well, Furious was still a pioneering ship nonetheless. One that established many things for Royal Navy aviation, and by extension, other navies across the globe.
