The British lost 4 of their original carriers (Courageous, Glorious, Ark Royal, Eagle & Hermes). In addition they lost 3 escort carriers (Audacity, Avenger and Dasher). Of these the Courageous, Ark Royal, Eagle, Audacity and Avenger were lost to U-boat torpedoes. Hermes was destroyed by Japanese carrier aircraft, Glorious was sunk by German battlecruisers and Dasher exploded during refueling. A further escort carrier, Nabob, was torpedoed by a U-boat and declared a constructive total loss giving no further service as a carrier, but was converted to a merchant ship and survived the war in that state.
