Twenty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye, but the scene of Hong Kong's return still seems to have happened just yesterday.

And it was also on this return day that something not very harmonious happened. In June 1997, the United Kingdom sent a huge task force to Southeast Asia to conduct the so-called Ocean Wave-97 joint military exercise with several countries there. When controlling, the accumulated unwillingness in the heart.

The total number of ships in this task force is as many as thirty-four, and its core is the aircraft carrier Excellence.(??!!!)

HMS Excellence belongs to the Invincible class aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 20,600 tons and carrying 24 carrier-based aircraft, it was the most powerful warship in Britain at that time.
================================================================

No such Royal Navy Invincible class carrier named Excellence. Why make up such a story? Of course much of the story is correct but a lot of it is ..well...read it. You be the judge.

If you read the whole article a US Navy carrier is given the name USS Victory..no such carrier and USS Helmas..no such ship. There is a photo of the USS Shangri-La CVA-38.

卓越号 here refers to HMS Illustrious (R06), which is the 2nd ship of the Invincible-class light carriers.
