She won a proud place in British naval history, and the hearts and minds of our nation, She served as the flagship of the taskforce that recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982.
But now the once-mighty aircraft carrier HMS Hermes is destined for a new life... as a luxury floating hotel. Remember the words of Brian Hanrahan "I counted out the Harrier Jump Jets and then counted them all back" Emotive words which bring back strong memories of Falklands war, She will now become a 600-room, five-star hotel moored in India’s Bay of Bengal.
If we were America, we would display Hermes, and make it a wonderful attraction for the public, take some time and visit this site http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3042098/posts Why do we never learn from History? over the years we as a nation have destroyed Planes tanks and ships, just to make cans and razor blades, what wouldn't we give for a original Handley Page O/400 or a German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI ?
