Conducted by the Royal Navy, the first raid from an aircraft carrier was launched from HMS Furious in July 1918. The Sopwith Camel aircraft damaged German Zeppelin facilities at Torndern (now Tønder, Denmark), heavily damaging it.

During the raid, the British light cruiser HMS Cleopatra, part of the escort, rammed and sank the German destroyer G194.
