The presenter has done a good job Keep it up. HMS Hermes is not owned by sri lanka. It is bombed and sunk off the coast of Nawalady Batticaloa. The keel was laid in 1918, launched in 1919 and commissioned in 1924.The construction was delayed and the Japanese designed, built and launched the air craft carrier Hoshu before hermes was launched. Hermes was the first purpose built aor craft carrier, designed to carry 20 air crafts. The complement had been 700 including the air group. The British commander in Ceylon "Admiral Sir James Sommerville " had received warnings about an impending Japanese onslaught. Ordered British war ships to sail to Gan islands in Maldives to evade the attack. Hermes could not leave because she was under going repairs in the dry dock on the 9th of April 1942 at 0645 hrs hermes set sail towards the south. Japamese imperial naval fleet launched a fierce attack with about 80 to 100 carrier borne air crafts. They attacked Trincomalee harbor. The absence of the Hermes had been a surprise. A Japanese scout plane flying south had spotted the Hermes escourted by HMAS Vampire. However Hermes was not ready for battle. As per Eye witness Mr. Prince Casinader (Ex principal of the Methodist College who entered the Parliament after his rietirement said about 80 Japanese dive bombers engaged the HERMES. When the first bomb fell on the hermes the waterloo had begun. Japanese were famous to fly out of the Sun to engage their targets. Cruising altitude had been 3000 ft Dived to 800 ft lowering their under carriage to brake the speed, released the bomb from 800 ft and recovered the dive from 400 ft. Each air craft caarried a 250 lbs bomb. Now the Hermes has found her final resting place at a depth of 53m The lost wreck was re discovered by me in 2001 Minimum diver certification requirement is TEC 45. Ever since the year 2001 todate more than 800 qualified tec divers have explred the hermes guided by me. And few hundreds of divers obained the trainig. This dive is certainly the ULTIMATE WREDCK DIVE OF THE WORLD.
Your content is incorrect I am a Sri Lankan but it is not a Sri Lankan ship because HMS HERMES was not built by Sri Lankans it was built by the British but sank in Sri Lankan waters.
