From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
HMCS Magnificent was an aircraft carrier of the Canadian Navy, in service from 1946 to 1956.
Purchased from the Royal Navy to replace Warrior, she served in a variety of roles, operating both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. Her last role was as a transport, carrying a large part of a Canadian peacekeeping force to Egypt, its vehicles parked on her deck. She was replaced by Bonaventure.
