  • HMS Barracuda is the lead ship of the Barracuda-class submarine aircraft carriers. Designed to combine the air superiority of the Royal Air Force with the long reach of the Royal Navy, the Barracuda-class was intended to provide the British Empire with an airborne striking force anywhere in the world. Launched in 1931 at Barrow-in-Furness, HMS Barracuda was first deployed as a propaganda tool, appearing at several exhibitions and air shows, using her prodigious onboard aircraft capacity as part of the displays. In 1935, HMS Barracuda was deployed in her first combat role, protecting convoys of British merchant marine vessels from the United Kingdom to the Maritime Provinces. Despite several attacks by and one major raid by the Broadway Bombers, the convoy lost only a single merchantman. The Barracuda-class concept had been proved in the heat of battle. During 1936 and the early part of 1937, HMS Barracuda was deployed as part of a diplomatic mission to the Nation of Hollywood, included as part of the fleet that escorted Ambassador Trubridge to a high-level summit with David Dunbar. After the summit broke down, HMS Barracuda was detatched from the fleet as part of Operation Gainsborough, the Empire's covert attempt to take over the Kingdom of Hawaii.
