My father served on her and told me that Courageous was involved in a collision probably during the 1930's and was shortened som feet. Memory is of the order of ten feet. Does anybody have details.

[edit] Haven't found it yet

I have researched several sources, and I can not find any reference to a collision. That doesn't mean it didn't happen; it just means that I haven't found anything on it yet. Will keep looking.

I did find references to where it suffered moderate damage in the bow and forecastle area on trials as a result of steaming full speed into heavy seas. Plates were buckled and oil tanks opened up and leaked. Additional stiffening was added.
