Bearn as aircraft ferry

Bearn as aircraft ferry
Here we see the French aircraft carrier after she was converted into an aircraft ferry in the United States in 1944. Both ends of her flight deck were clipped, she was given more cranes and hoists to allow her to load aircraft more quickly and she was given more AA guns in sponsons along the sides. However on her first trip early in 1945 she was damaged in a collision and the repairs took six months.
