We still have HMS Illustrious, though she's not in commission.

Yes she is.

Illustrious remains in service until some time in 2014, when Ocean will
become the only operational carrier.


I thought she was still under refit, must have completed it.


About 6/7 months ago. My son was on it during the refit.


Looks like she'll be back in refit!
