[edit]

I believe that the Barracuda that ditched was from Indefatigable and that it ditched near its own carrier, not Formidable, based on the account in McCart's history of the Illustrious-class ships. The crew was recovered by the destroyer Verulam, according to McCart, p. 150. You can find a full citation to the book on the Implacable-class aircraft carrier page.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:27, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
