The designer of this stamp gives that the aircraft carrier depict on the stamp is one of the Invincible class aircraft carriers, just a representation of the class and not based on any individual ship.
Three ships of this class were built for the Royal Navy, HMS INVINCIBLE, HMS ARK ROYAL and HMS ILLUSTRIOUS.
The details and history of the individual ships you can find in the index.
