As a young lad with my brother in the 1950's we sailed into Belfast Harbour early one morning on the Ulster Prince from Liverpool. First we saw a couple of I think meteor jets fly in the we saw one complete Aircraft Carrier and the on partially built one. The name Ark Royal comes to mind but I may be mistaken.

I don't think it is HMS Ark Royal but a later photo shows there are three more carriers around this one. I have a feeling they being built for foreign navies.

The Ark Royal of the day was built by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead. HMS Eagle, finally completed late 1951, is one candidate.The light carriers HMS Centaur & HMS Hermes were completed in 1953/4.
