USS Iwo Jima to the Royal Navy

That surprises me, I thought the US had a strict non-intervention policy within the Americas.

On the one hand it's nice to know the offer was there, on the other - the loss of a carrier would've been catastrophic even with a replacement on standby!

I doubt the RN would've sunk a third-party vessel en-route to the operational area, and even in that area I think they'd have to think long and hard about the potential fall-out.
