No, it was the way they cooked the pork, on the boucanier.
On a bucan I think.  Close enough.  Your go.

Despite the violation of the Yi rule, this should be fairly easy.  And it should irritate Neil.

Name this vessel, Canada's last aircraft carrier.

Darn!
Is it Hermes?
I'm pretty sure I'll recognize the name once I see it; I saw it on wikipedia not too long ago.

Well at least you guys got the HMCS part right...

The ship was decommissioned at least 10 years before Thatcher came into power, so no.

hmmm... I thought with all the navaltards on this forum that would be an easy question... :unsure:

One of the commissionaires that do building security in Whitehorse, who I've met, served on this vessel.   :cool:

Sure, go nuts.

But while it was laid down as a RN vessel, it was only finished as a RCN vessel.  So It's HMS name is very obscure.

BTW, doing some research it's the same class as Colossus, but not the same ship.

Edit: err, nope.  Similar, but the follow up class to Colossus, not the same class.

Leviathan, Terrible, Hercules, Powerful? If that doesn't work then I'll start guessing the 1930s CVs, cause I can't think of any without opening my WiF kid and checking out the late war CVLs.
