She was originally built as HMS Brave for Royal Navy, but was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy and commissioned as HMCS Warrior. She was built for operations in the Indian Ocean, thus she was built without heaters for some onboard equipment. The RCN had problems with the unheated equipment during operations in cold North Atlantic during 1947. The RCN decided to change her for a more suitable aircraft carrier HMCS Magnificent.

Canada Fairey Firefly (second) [ 1 ]; Supermarine Seafire [ 1 ].
