HMS Victorious
United States Navy
Ship-Carrier
Year: 1943
Cap: 2
Speed: 2
Cost: 24
MG: 6/6/4/-
AA: 8
A/VA/HP: 5/11/4
Torpedo Defense 1
Expert Dogfighter- Once per turn, you may choose a friendly Fighter. That fighter rolls one extra attack die when making Antiair attacks this turn.
Deck Park- You may base one additional fighter on this unit over its basing capacity. If you return 3 aircraft to this unit during the air return phase, roll a die, and on a 2 or lower, place a rearming counter on one of those units.
British Loan Carrier- British aircraft may base on this unit. You may only use this unit in the Pacific.
Fighter Umbrella- Once per turn, you may choose a friendly Fighter that aborted or destroyed an enemy Aircraft this turn. That Fighter may move to a sector it's adjacent to that contains an enemy Aircraft and make an Antiair attack with a -1 on each attack die against that Aircraft.
Context: During 1943, the US Navy had only one operational carrier in the pacific, so the British lent them the HMS Victorious until the new Essexes could be introduced and the Enterprise could be repaired. If you don't know, Deck Park is the practice of parking planes on the flight deck of a carrier to increase aircraft capacity. You couldn't do this in the Atlantic because of the foul weather, but you could do this in the Pacific. The American commander of the squadron Victorious was in found that she had trouble handling American bombers because of their weight, so she would operate almost exclusively fighters, and the other carrier in the group, the USS Saratoga, would handle operating strike groups.
