According to that the Invincible was R 06 and the Ark Royal was R 07.

So typos mistakes on 2 sites (one of which links RN R05 webpage) out of thousand on the net, despite the fact staring you in the face is conclusive proof that invincible was sunk, you guys are so desperate to believe this fantasy to resurrect some faded glory for a bunch of fascist military dictators that murdered thousand of their citizen and who only invade the Falklands as they saw it as the only way escape the mounting opposition to them in their own country.

Yet again, there is NO WAY that a new carrier could be built in secret. It would take years and thousands of people. Those people would take pride in their work and brag about it to friends. There is NO WAY you hide something like that and keep it secret for 13 years, with NOT ONE PERSON talking about it.
Oh and by the way I like the way the story changes when the "facts" are proven wrong. First the Illustrious pretended to be the Invincible, and the "new" Invincible was R08, now the Illustrious is the "new" carrier.

It was constructed possibly in the USA for that reason it did not do upgrade and it continues conserving phalanx system.
